Can someone please advise me what can cause hair loss over most of the lower portion of the cat’s body…basically from the neck down, and sores that resemble mosquito bites? He is healthy otherwise. Good color, good eating habits, gets good food, playful, and his stools are fine. He doesn’t have worms either.
Yes, he’s been “vetted” and I fear that’s how we wound up in this mess. I had this previously healthy cat neutered, and since three days afterward he’s been in THIS condition. Three vets later now, $1600, they’re still telling me it’s a flea allergy. I DON’T HAVE FLEAS!!! I have seven cats. I have taken ALL of them to these three vets. One of said cats even has a documented history of flea allergy, yet she shows NO symptoms of hair loss. Now I’m broke and he’s STILL almost naked. I use Revolution on the dogs. Frontline on the cats, and my house AND my entire yard are treated faithfully because of my older cat’s flea allergy. Way back when, she went bald…no sores, just bald. Since then we’ve had no flea’s.
Can someone give me ANY ideas? I believe I now have what appears to be cat number two coming down with same symptoms. They’ve had skin tests and the whole nine yards…NOTHING! I don’t know where to turn and it’s getting cold. My cat is an insider but he’s freezing to death and I’ve resorted to putting a sweater on him. I need help and obviously something is seriously lacking in the vet department in my area. Surely this can’t be the first case of sores and hair loss from something besides a flea allergy on the planet?!?!
I can add pics if it could help……

What Is Wrong With My Female Cat?Posted by: Alan in Dog Worms Symptoms, tags: Female, What, With, WrongMy cat has been dragging her butt “scooting” on the ground and then I noticed increased trips to the litter box with little urination. She has been more vocal lately but still affectionate. I have had her for four years and she has never once peed on anything but within the last week she has been peeing on blankets and today she peed in the bathtub and I noticed her pee was pinkish she even tried to pee on my sleeping brother. I’m fairly certain this is a UTI. However, that doesn’t explain the scooting. Anyone have any suggestions? I am going to make her an appointment tomorrow for the vet. Anyone have any idea what the cost range will be? Also, my roommates have three dogs and two others were visiting for a while. Im worried the scooting could be from worms. Any other ideas? How long before contact would it take for symptoms to occur? Thank you in advance for any help. I’m very worried. Please assure me she isn’t going to die. She’s only four.

What Happens During The Process Of Getting Rid Of Hookworms?Posted by: Alan in Dog Worms Symptoms, tags: During, Getting, Happens, Hookworms, Process, WhatWe found my dog a few months ago as a stray and he recently tested positive for hookworms. The vet gave us some medicine to give him and ever since he’s had crazy amounts of diarrhea lately. He has to go out every few hours and we just get a ton of poop. |
