So, I've been treating my cat for a few days with "hibitane" veterinary ointment for what I thought to be ringworm. I got this ointment from work, one of the tech's gave it to me. She said it's good for fungal infections, eczema, bacterial infections, abscesses, etc.

So i've been applying this to the middle of his back, and above one of his eyes where he is losing hair. I've noticed the red patch above his eye has gotten a bit bigger, and a little puffier. He doesn't seem to be in any pain when i touch both of these areas. I can put cream on them no problem.

I've read up on demodex.... sounds like that could possibly be what it is .. above his eye anyway. Any ideas?

It's definitely possible.

When my kitten had a suspecious spot that the vet thought was ringworm, she said to apply
