My cat has skin condition?
Sometimes people don't have the money to go to the vet right away and that is why they ask questions on here to get some ideas of what is wrong.


My dog had some skin problems and it was a flea bite allergy. It cleared up once I got her on frontline plus... I would of wasted my money taking her to the vet


Not everyone can afford to go to the vet for everything!


Make sure your cat don't have fleas... Advantage is good for cats to keep them flea free.
Reply:it may be due to contact with a corrosive substance or a possible stress-related condition. take to vets asap, as it may indicate something more serious.


hope he's ok x
Reply:You need to take your cat to the vet! It can be a number of things. Your vet can figure out whats going on and prescribe any meds needed! If it was my cat I would make appointment tomorrow!
Reply:it is absurd that you have not brought your cat to the vet yet. i am surprised that he is not dead yet. it is possible for this to be something other than a skin condition and even if it is a skin condition it sounds horrible and should be taken care of. also it could be something contagious like ring worm so even if you do not care about your cat enough to take proper care of them think about yourself and go to the vet NOW if your child had a problem this bad would you say that medical care is too expensive
Reply:go to the vet - try the PDSA if you're on benefits
Reply:Hi,you need to take him to a vet only they can tell you what it is.Just because it does not look like it's getting worse does not mean it isn't.
Reply:more than likely a flea allergy, my cat had it. make sure u treat for fleas every month with frontline from the vet or available as vet strenght fom scats country stores if in uk


when the flea bites it injects salia into the skin it is this that the cat would be allergic too, if it's not that it may be stress related maybe a new cat in the area possibly male. below is link to good site
Reply:it cud be stress causing him to pull his fur out. (one of my three cats does this) or it could be eczema or an allergy to something. its best to take him to the vet coz he may need to hae pills to help him. and only a vet can tell you what the exact problem is.





make sure he gets monthly flea treatment - use the one from the vet not a cheap one from the shopsas they dont do the job properly and same goes for worm pills get them from the vet not the shops.
Reply:ITS SOUNDS LIKE THAT IS A FLEA ALLERGY. MY CAT HAS THAT AND SHE HAS TO HAVE FRONTLINE TO KILL THE FLEAS. I WOULD STILL TAKE HIM TO THE VETS TO GET IT CHECKED THOUGH
