How Can I Tell If My Cat Has a Skin Problem?

How Can I Tell If My Cat Has a Skin Problem?

by | HA! FAQ, HA! Skin

Answered by Dr. Jeff Feinman

The most common symptom is an itchy pet, but if they’re not itching and they have the three S’s: skin sores, shedding, or smelling and those are all clues that your pet has a problem that’s focused on the skin.

Skin sores usually come with itching, scratching, and can be called hot spots which are sores that pop up out of the blue. Shedding, excessive shedding you will be able to see and bad odor from the coat – you can smell.

The fixes I would recommend are daily brushing, if you’re not doing it already because that will stimulate the skin to moisturize and help with the shedding of the hair. Aloe vera topically, if there are any skin sores. Aloe Vera is wonderful for that. If there’s an instance of dry skin like flaking, itching from dry skin, the most common experience is after fleas but there are many causes. I would add a humidifier to make sure the humidity in the house is about 50 percent and supplement one from RX Vitamins called Ultra EFA that is great for skin problems.

What Are The Symptoms of Pregnancy in Cats?

What Are The Symptoms of Pregnancy in Cats?

by | HA! FAQ

Answered by Dr. Jeff Feinman

Cats cycle frequently so they are prone to getting pregnant if you don’t spay or neuter them so knowing what symptoms to look for are important. The most frequent symptom is actually related back to cycling which happens every two weeks. The first symptom that you see may be that she’s stopped cycling. When she gets pregnant she will stop cycling. Another symptom that is an early symptom is the nipples start pinking up, getting a little pink and a little swollen. Another symptom is she starts eating more because she’s eating for herself and the babies. 

During that time, it’s really important to be treating her with the best fresh food nutrition that you can get her to eat. Another treatment that is really important when a kitty is pregnant is minimizing stress. So try not to let her get too freaked out, things going on in the environment, trying to minimize treatments, other drugs. 

The last treatment I would say is not really a treatment but getting an area set up and ready for her to have her babies. To offer to use the whelping box, have the whelping box to have the babies, cats don’t often comply with that but one treatment would definitely be to get ready for the cleaning you’ll expect a couple months after she gets pregnant.
