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?

my dog has quite a few bald spots on her upper back/neck area… they are recent, and tend to come and go, but it has gotten worse lately.. I did take her to the vet, and at first they said its a very serious problems because its a bug that burrows below the hair folicle and can be very deadly for they dog…she had a skin scraping done, and they found nothing, so he said to let it go for a while to see if it spreads …one minute my dog id dying, and the next ..”just wait and see what happens”!!! needless to say I am getting a second opinion, but right now I am still panicing!! the patched are slightly swollen and they don’t itch her at all.. I also have a boxer that she rough houses with, but not enough to rip out chunks of hair!!! also, the vet said she might be possibly going through a false pregnancy (but he isn’t the brightest and I couldn’t even understand him…from animal welfare) but he wasn’t sure about that also..he just said it because he nipples are larger than normal
