my cats losing hair on his neck?
Hi, my cat has been losing hair on his neck for the last 3 weeks now. I’ve tried a flea collar for two weeks but it didn’t do anything, and I’ve tried an antiseptic germicidal spray (for skin infections) for a week, and it hasn’t shown signs of improvement yet. A vet trip is in my area plus extra cost for treatment, so I want to try safe alternatives before resorting to that (I have an appointment scheduled in two weeks, please don’t just tell me to go to the vet). Do you recommend me trying anything else? I saw an anti-itch cream at Petsmart but I’m not sure if it will cure the problem or just postpone it.
He is an indoor and the only cat, so I don’t know how he can get fleas in the first place. I feed him half a can of Friskies (mixed grill, salmon, turkey) and fill the rest of his appetite with Science Diet.
I noticed that if I pinch a bit of his hair and give a slight tug, the hair readily comes off. This might sound stupid, but is this normal or a is it nutrition problem? Might that have something to do with his hair loss? Are cats hair less rooted than human hair?
It is a medical thing, but your cat won’t die from it. You didn’t say how big the spot was, what it looked like, but it could be ringworm. Ringworm is a fungus and it causes patches of hair loss, and the hair will come out easily when you pull it. If it is ringworm, it can be expensive to treat.
try using cat shampoo when you give it a bath. maybe you might be combing it to much and it comes off.it could have kept scratching the fur behind its ear with its fur and its fur comes off easily.i dont think its a medical problem
well my aunts 2 dogs started getting hair loss and it wouldnt grow back and then it turned into this big thing and the dogs died so i would just spend the money if you dont want to take a chance
Good Luck
