Can I use human medicine for my cat's infection or ringworm?
First of all you will need to get those medications from a vet as we are mainly talking about prescription medications. For ringworm Itraconazole is usually used, for infections i recommend taking Synolux which is the most widely used antibiotics in pets. i would also recommend taking worming tablets (Drontal) and flea treatment (advantage).

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yeast infections are uncommon in cats. Ring work (fungal infection) might be what you are referring to. Has Candy been diagnosed by a Vet to have ring worm? The treatment of diagnosed ring worm in cats is an ORAL anti-fungal medications and/or Lyme sulfur dips. I do not recommend using an ointment that Candy could lick off her fur and ingest. Lyme sulfur dips can be found at a Veterinary hospital or online. I hope this helps and good luck!

My cat has GI fungus. Vet changed meds. Is this the right decision?
I'm sorry to hear that Azeara is not feeling well. All of the medications you mentioned are anti-fungals, and can be toxic in high doses. Your vet likely instructed you to stop one medication and switch to the other in order to avoid any chance of toxicity. You should definitely not give two of these medications at the same time unless instructed by your vet.
