What's Wrong With My Cat's Skin?
July 5th 2010 15:28
There are many signs that you may have noticed that may alarm you that your cat is having problems with his skin. The common causes could be dry skin, ringworm, fleas or another parasite, allergies, or it could be all psychological. Depending on the signs that your seeing, your vet will be able to best diagnose and treat your cat.
Common signs of a skin condition may include one or more of the following:
* Scratching
* Chewing at the fur
* Scabs or bumps
* Redness
* Hair loss
* Continuous licking
* Flaky skin
* Dry, course, or brittle fur
* Dull coat color
Because the signs of a skin condition can be close and similar with different conditions, most likely your vet will need to perform a few tests, generally a skin scrap and maybe a blood test.
If you think that your cat has a skin condition, you want to consult your vet as soon as you can so that it can be diagnosed and treated before it worsens.
