Is Terbinaforce ointment safe for my kitten's yeast infection?

Miconazole and clotrimazole are the most common topical anti-fungal medications that we use for ringworm, but you will want to consult with your veterinarian before starting any treatment for ringworm to make sure that Pita Boo is confirmed to have ringworm, to make sure that he doesn't need oral medication as well and to make sure that the topical product is safe for cats. I am including a handout on ringworm below for your reference which discusses treatment. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951439 Good luck! I hope that was helpful.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Lover Boy! yes you can use the EnteDerm. But I would also use an E-collar to prevent licking of the toe and the cream. Since cats groom we do not want the product to be ingested. if the toe isn't improving he should be examined by a Vet. Also wash the foot before applying the cream to remove litter and dirt. I wish you the best!

Clotrimazole (Lotrimin) can be tried, with or without the steroid. It is always recommended to apply a thin layer of the product on the skin and allowing it to air dry for 20-30 minutes. The product should not be allowed to be licked by your pet during the drying timeframe, and gloves should be worn when handling this medication. Use care when treating a large area, smaller areas of application are preferred. If no improvement is seen within 7-14 days then most pets require an oral anti-fungal prescription medication from their veterinarian.

He should see a veterinarian to be examined and have the skin tested. Based on these results, treatment can be started. I hope this information helps!

Antifungal medication (most likely a topical ointment based on itraconazole or similar) is required. Your vet can prescribe that when diagnosis has been correctly established by some skin testing for ringworm. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Nystatin can be used but since it is a prescription medication for, you should check with your veterinarian before giving or applying any medications to or on your pet. An e-collar (cone) should be in place to prevent licking/ingestion which could cause GI upset.
