| Sumario: | Background Feline Dermatophytosis is a common contagious fungal infection in young cats, typically managed with conventional antifungal therapies. Interest in complementary veterinary homoeopathy has increased as an alternative treatment approach. Aim and Objective was to report the treatment of fungal infection in a 1.5-month-old kitten using homoeopathic remedy. Methodology A 1.5-month-old kitten presented with circular, scaly lesions consistent with dermatophytosis, around her right eye and the base of her tail. The lesions also had hair loss, and yellow and brown scaling with erythema. Diagnosis was based on clinical examination and Wood's Lamp examination. Bacillinum 200 was prescribed and regular follow-up assessment was done to monitor lesion progression and general health status. Results Progressive clinical improvement was observed with reduction in lesion size, regrowth of hair and eventually complete resolution without adverse effects. Conclusion This case suggests that homeopathy has immense scope in the field of Veterinary Medicine and further large-scale studies such as controlled trials need to be conducted to evaluate the efficacy.
