I have a Yorkie and she is constantly licking and scratching herself until she is raw and bleeds. Also so has lost a lot of hair from doing so. We have given her baths with allergy shampoo and sprayed her with anti-itch spray and nothing seems to work. What could it be? And does anyone know any ideas to fix it?
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……
He has an allergy to fleas but we use flea medication and he has a flea collar, but he bites and licks himself and he has bald spots. It’s more than just regular shedding. The vet said he had an allergy to fleas and he was given cortisone shots and steroids. He takes medicine but even still what could be causing it? We’ve tried oatmeal baths. We also heard about corn oil in the food and tea tree oil on his coat but haven’t tried anything like that yet. Would that help?
any ideas???
what to do he keeps biting himself and he keeps losing fur. I dont have the money right now to take him to the vet. He is my baby, and he keeps hurting him self. what can i put on him to soothe it? help. everyday he looses more fur.
