Abstract 

Feline dermatophytic pseudomycetoma is fungal infections of the skin caused by dermatophytes (Microsporum spp.) 

The diagnosis is based on histopathological test. The infection causes clinical lesion and chronic inflammation of the skin. 

Long-term treatment is necessary with antifungal agents and anti-inflammatory drugs are recommended in case of severe inflammation. 

Due to anti-inflammatory and skin enrichment effects of PCSO-524® (Antinol®), it is used for supportive treatment of feline dermatophytic pseudomycetoma in this case. 

Administration of PCSO-524® (Antinol®) also reduces the risk of adverse effects from using other anti-inflammatory agents. 

The use is simple and can reduce the dosage of other medications, particularly in difficult cats that do not cooperate with taking oral medicine. 

Treatment outcome can be evaluated from physical examination, hematological and blood chemistry tests, and body weight gain. 

Over one-year treatment period, there was no signs of side effects from the treatment, the blood test results were stable and the quality of life and social interaction between the cat and the owner was improved.
