My friend gave me this kitten. I noticed there are some dandruff-like stuffs at the back of her ears and in her armpits. As days passed by, her armpits had a patch of scaley skin and she is shedding to much fur now than before. And this morning i noticed there are something in her paws (all feet) something like sands between her fingers, brownish-black colored stuff. I've been searching over the net since then looking for info and treatment, i've tried bathing her with sulfur soap since then but there's no effect. As what i researched, it is something like fungus or ringworm? can anyone help me?

By the way we're going to see a vet tomorrow, i'm really worried about my kitten.

As long as she is going to the vet tmrw, you have nothing to worry about.

It doesn't sound life threatening, and the vet will tell you what it is and how to properly treat it.

It's okay, so glad she is going to see a vet.

Just wanna know if any of your cats had experienced this? can this affect the growth of my kitten? im worried she won't have a nice fur when she grows.

You can click on the link in my signature for Tigger (Tiggles).  She had massive ringworm that pretty much covered her entire body when she was a kitten, it took a while but her hair grew back into a very sleek beautiful tabby. She was treated with topical creams and a weekly bath in an anti fungal shampoo.
