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

Does my cat have a skin problem?
purplegirl51794 asked:
my cat has a lot of dry skin flakes on her back, more than what my other cat has. she hates to be petted on her back and hates to be brushed. and when i brush her, i get perfectly straight hairs in the brush that looked like they’ve been pulled out of her back, not just getting the extra hair off. by the time i finished brushing her, a lot of her black hair came off, and i could see the brown hairs underneath. if she has a skin problem, how should i treat it?

Cracked asked:
its too early to go see a vet, today, just got kitten last night. My friend has 3 dogs, one always seems to have itching problem, always has a liter of kittens, so I took one. I’m noticing the kitten is itching a lot. Was wondering if you might pin point what it is… it’s a very small kitten 6 wks, kinda looks like some hair loss, not sure, because kitten is vey young and fluffy.

My cat has a skin problem. By chance does any one know what it could be, or how I can help her?
This question asked:
A family of three share a 4 year outdoor cat.
She spends at least 5 hrs a day outside, on are acre of land.
Last night she came in with something on her scalp that appears to be dandruff.
But it hurts her when I or some one else tries to pull the dead skin (as it appears to be) off of her.
I am not sure what this may be or how I may help.
Could it be PI?
