Cat Health: Fur, Skin Questions About Your Pet Answered

2 minutes ago ( 6:09 PM)

My cat has dry, thick clumpy fur and dandruff. I've tried everything. I give her the best food (Earthborn), make sure she has wet food with water (so she doesn't get dehyrated) as well as dry, always make sure she has clean water, clean the litterbox every day. I give her a brushing every week with the "furminator." The only thing I can think of is that she doesn't get enough exercise. She just hangs out most of the time in her cat tree.

One of my friend's cats was losing fur and was quite naked before her vet finally figured out the kitty had allergies/asthma. They gave her the right type of food and steroids, and now kitty is SUPER fluffy. She is back to her normal, happy self.

Itchy ears can also denote the presence of polyps, which some cats are prone to developing, even down the ear canal and into the throat. My male cat has this problem, which leads to him occasionally scratching his ears. Recently, he had an upper respiratory infection which caused him to sneeze, spasm and crouch down on the floor in order to access more oxygen for easier breathing. The x-rays two weeks ago showed a great deal of gas in his system, due to that. He also had a lot of nasal excretion during the sneezing episodes, and his coat was dull and dehydrated. My veterinarian gave him an injection of Convenia, an antibiotic which works in the system for two weeks, and prescribed a tincture of azithromycin. I made sure it was 'fish-flavored' to make it more palatable for him. Long story short: the one-two punch of these antiobiotics has eliminated the spasms, all but reduced the constant sneezing, and his nasal passages are clear. My boy's coat is also silky, hydrated and shiny now, and he's back to his old, frisky sixteen year-old self. We don't know the extent of the polyps down the throat canal, and the vet and I agreed that we won't put him through any unnecessary surgery at his age; he is basically healthy again, and those are the results I was so looking for. It makes me very happy to see him alert and active as usual.

Mites is not the only answer for every problem. If a cat is licking their fur off in spots it could be a sign that they are in great pain. It could also mean they have a thyroid condition. I only recently learned this and I want to pass the information on to cat owners. My Ziggy licked all the fur off his belly. He kept throwing up and we naturally thought it was because of all the hair he was ingesting. It was only when the vomit started being dark blackish brown that we got really alarmed. It turned out that the poor baby had stomach cancer which was found out after exploratory surgery! Very sad. Not mites!
