How To Treat Scabby Cat Disease

Feline Miliary Dermatitis is the formation of lesions or 'scabs' on your cat. It is possible that you can treat it without visiting your vet which will save you some money.

To begin with you could try applying a simple moisturing cream available from any cosmetics store. A cream specifically for dry skin would be recommended as this should help combat some of the itchiness of the scabs. Try applying this to your cat for a week and see if there is any improvement. If there isn't then you could try applying germolene. This will help your cat as it is antiseptic and can help to combat the infection as well as helping the scabs on your cat to heal faster. These creams may not provide a lasting effect as essentially you need to find the cause of the disease.

If neither of these creams work then you could seek out an anti-inflammatory cream available from a chemist. This should help alleviate the discomfort and reduce the swelling of the scabs.

A natural remedy that is safe to use on cats is aromatherapy oil. A few drops of lavender aromatherapy oil will help to soothe the itching that is caused by the scabs or lesions and is safe to use in conjunction with any of the treatments listed above.

If none of these work, or your cat has a very sever case of Feline Miliary Dermatitis then I advise visiting your vet. He will be able to prescribe a very strong anti-inflammatory cream that cannot be bought otherwise, which should clear up the scabs.
