WHITE CAT WITH SKIN PROBLEMS, ANY SUGGESTIONS?
merryellen79 asked:
I have an outdoor white female cat, she has black like dirt in and around her ears (mites?) and they looked chewed up and then around her eyes she has hair missing, and it all happened just when it started getting cold out, she lives in our garage and has all her shots and is also fixed. I am wondering if mites would cause this?? and is there over the counter stuff?

guinea pig skin problem?
pullthetrigger asked:
My brother’s guinea pig has skin kinda flaking off in one area on his back - but not dry flakes like dandruff, it’s like fresh skin - it gets stuck in the fur. both of our gp’s recently had a kind of droplet mite treatment from the vet that we had to put on the skin on their backs, but we don’t think this is the problem as only my brother’s gp has the peeling skin. what’s causing this? no clumps of fur are falling out, so i’m not sure if it’s a fungal problem.
yeah, thay have already had injections for mites, and looking in the fur i haven’t seen any mites.

Suggestions for my cats skin problems?
Allyson asked:
I’ve had my cat for 3 and 1/2 years now (her whole life, she’s 3 and 1/2) and she’s never had any skin problems until recently. She licks her front arms until there is hardly any fur anymore. She also does this to her hind legs and a small part on her stomach, but minimally. Also, she’ll scratch the backs of her ears until there is no more fur, and occasionally small sores. I know it’s not mites or fleas, and I’m pretty positive it’s not a food allergy because she eats nothing but California Natural and EVO. (She’s a very spoiled little girl.) I’ve tried putting bitter apple on the spots to stop the licking, but to no avail.

I went to the pet store today and got the Avoderm Oatmeal shampoo for cats and dogs to see if it would improve anything. Also, a spray that is specially designed for allergic dermatitis in cats and dogs. If these things don’t work in two weeks or so, I’m going to take her to the vet, but I wanted to exercise all of my options before that.
I’m wondering if anyone else has had a problem similar to this and if so, what did you do so your cat (or dog even) would stop licking the fur away?
Need Help? Daschund with skin problems?
yen asked:
My sister’s daschund mix in the past month or so, started have skin problems. First, her armpits started turning red, and moist. Then she started losing tiny clumps of hair off her rear and back. Then for a while it started going away. Now we see small spots of hairloss that look like scabs on her stomach. My sister took her to the vet and they ruled out mites. And they figured it was allergies. Can anyone help her???????

Guinea pig skin problems?
kayla922 asked:
my guinea pig has hair loss under its tummy and little bumps on her skin but it isn’t red or saw. Could this be mites she also has greasy fur that is associated with fungus but she show no other signs of fungus, What can i do to get rid of this. i have been told by lots of guinea pig owners not to go to the vet as they often wrongly diagnose guinea pig skin problems and put them down when all it would have taken was an oil rub to help the animal get better.
Harry rolls you are a wierdo!
