Nizoral is the main ingredient in one of the very successful ringworm oral drugs (ketocozinole??), but the human shampoo is most likely too strong for a cat. Continue with the Malaseb shampoo - it's really the shampoo of choice for fighting ringworm. It sounds as though she's inhaled some of the spray. Instead of spraying it on her, saturate a cotton ball with it and dab that on the lesions. The Malaseb shampoo is most effective if you can leave it on her for 10 minutes prior to rinsing. Lather her up, wrap her in a towel, and hold her for 10 minutes then rinse and dry.





The lesions can also be treated with an over-the-counter athlete's foot cream like lamisol. Put a thin film on the lesions twice a day, and you'll see them dry up in a day or two. Can i use Nizoral shampoo on my cats for ringworm the malaseb spray is making her sick and phlegm?
You can use any kind of anti-fungal cream or spray such as clotrimazole or tolfanate or lamasil (foot fungus spray works fine also) Make sure you are getting it right on the lesion and the lesion(s) are drying up. If you get it on yourself, you can use these also. If you use the spray just make sure your kitty is not breathing in the mist. If you are using a topical try to keep her mind off of it until it absorbs so she isnt licking too much of it and making herself sick. (you can use a E collar if she won't stop licking it.
Stop using the irritating spray immediately and please do not apply another chemical to the poor cat. They are very sensitive to chemicals and when they naturally lick themselves to clean they ingest even more. Nizoral is for humans, stronger than cat medicated shampoo.


Call the vet with your concerns.


The malaseb shampoo alone may do the job...are you spraying outdoors where the spray can be directed away from the cats face.


If the vets insist you must continue using the spray...spray it on a rag and wipe that on the cat.
The active ingredients are different but they are both antifungal.It might work.


If it doesn't ask your vet if there is anything oral for the same thing. Call and tell him that you don't have the money and he might give you an alternative. My baby kitten also has ringworm and we're treating it with Malaseb [Shampoo] and a compound that we have to give her every day.
