Cat with problem skin disorder?
Sammi asked:
I have a female orange tabby, who every summer develops a red rash from her ears down to her eyes. Some hair loss, but mostly just red with black specks. She doesn’t seem to have any discomfort from it & doesn’t scratch it.
She is mostly indoors with access to an enclosure. The enclosure is covered with hummingbird vines with blossoms.
Could she be allergic to the blossoms. They do attract birds, insects, bees etc. Her skin problems are only in the summer. By fall it’s totally gone.

My Cats has a skin problem. He started getting dry patches that would flake off?
trundlebug asked:
Some spots, such as on his right ear would become raw and tender. We took him to our vet, she done a skin test, he dosen’t have parasites or mange so she gave him anti biotics, this isn’t helping him. Any ideas?

Autoimmune skin problems in cats?
Yayyyme asked:
My cat has an autoimmune skin disease. It has not been diagnosed, but I’d like to research some of them and possibly take as much of a hollistic approach as possible. In the past, she has been given steriod injections, but I am aware that this causes tumors, diabetes and various other problems. I have found some interesting articles, but none that are directly about the issue. Anyone know a good site that possibly breaks down the different types or if you know about it personally that would help too. Thanks =)
Again… looking to research the different types. So sources would be helpful. I’m aware it hasnt been diagnosed—i stated that in my question– what I want to do is research the different types, but i’m having trouble finding sites for it.

How to help a cat with sensitive skin?
ellyvstheworld asked:
My baby is about 4 years old and has always had problems with her allergies. She’s had runny eyes since I got her at one year old. I don’t think she was born a very healthy kitten because she is rather tiny as well.
My baby is about 4 years old and has always had problems with her allergies. She’s had runny eyes since I got her at one year old. I don’t think she was born a very healthy kitten because she is rather tiny as well.
Since we moved from a 9th floor condo to a house with a giant yard her skin has gotten 100 times worse. We did have a small flea outbreak but I keep them away with frontline once a month. But still the poor girl is scratching almost 50% of the time when she is awake. She has horrible scabs around her neck and around her tail and her back is incredibly sensitive to the touch.
I want to add that she is my only pet with this terrible problem. I hate to see my darling suffer, has anyone had any success with relieving skin problems? We feed her NutroMax dry food. I would like to try to stay away from shots at the vet and try to get to the root of the problem.
Three skin problems on a kitten at a same time. Help?
Adelie asked:
My brother’s kitten has ringworm on her tail, some fleas around her neck, and a little scabies on the tips of her ears. It’s a sad condition, even though he’s sure that he already did what a cat owner must do to keep his cat in good condition.
It’s just, the kitten seems healthy. She can’t stop running and playing with every stuff she finds. But is she really healthy? I mean, she does look healthy from the outside.
My bro’s also not sure which problems should be taken care of first. Or can they be handled at the same time? What medication will you suggest to take care of those skin problems?
Thanks.

Skin Problems with my kitten. Hair loss and skin peeling?
GOD asked:
My kitten is a whole 11 weeks old and she is losing hair in chunks and her skin is peeling. It started under her legs. Like arm pit area-ish. I am starting to worry about her. What can I try and do to help the cat before I take her to the vet. I don’t have money to take her right now. I took this cat only because it had no home. It was a stray. Any advice for me?

cat with skin problems?
philtaxdri asked:
I have an 8 year old female cat who has developed skin problems in the last year. On her back, in the area about 4 inches from her tail to her tail, she had sores that scab and fall off then do it again. They never bleed or ooze. On her tummy, she has a scaly red area that grows from a tiny spot to a large area, then recedes again. The vet tried Neo-Predef and oral pred which have little effect. He sent us to an allegy specialist, who did a lot of tests, charged two arms and two legs, found no cause, but said it IS allergies and she should eat an expensive dry food for allegies in cats. She hates it, but she eats it, but it has been three months and NO IMPROVEMENT. If anything it is getting worse. I also washed the area with a shampoo she gave me for the condition, no help either. Has anyone seen this or know what to do? The areas itch her like crazy. Thanks for any help!

My cat has skin problems? Help?
tj0102030405 asked:
He is about 2 years old. He gets fleas a lot. I give him a flea bath once a month, spray the apartment with flea spray, use flea drops on him, use flea powder on the carpet and brush him. When I took him to the vet a year ago she told me his skin was just bumpy and scaley from fleas and it will just go away. Well it has not and we only have a very small flea problem now so I really don’t think it is the fleas making his skin bumpy and scaley. He also is loosing hair. I have another cat who has no problems at all?? What could be wrong? Is there anything I can feed him/ put on him to make him better. He is always licking and scratching himself and getting his dead skin all over and hair! Yuck!
Thank you for the advive everyone. I am going to give him a nice bath using dawn dish soap, put frontline drops on him, and search the internet for good food for him to eat for his skin. I hate seeing him like this, he is a sweet cat
