Terbinafine or itraconozole. Terbinafine is dependent on the cat weight as cutting a tablet into an 1/8 is too much of a hassle. In that case will use itraconozole.

you want to do systemic as well as topical though for best results. Environmental cleaning is super important too.

Hi David, I'm enquiring on behalf of my vets,for a patient, they want to know what's available other than topical tx, vets old school and not familiar with new treatments and not inclined to look either, really frustrating.

animal care have brought out a product recently - can't for the life of me think of its name other than it has 'fungi' in it - if I could remember the name of the stuff would check in noah to see if it was suitable

firstly noticing as a your a student. would this be for a case study or your own animal. as your vet should be prescribing for you but also they would be more advised in assisting in researching with you.
