Introduce the methods and skills of raising cats

 

Cats are an animal that loves grooming very much. You will often find that cats lick themselves most of the day. If you find that your cat has been shed for a while, this is very normal. As long as there is no blood, pus or irritation in the skin around the bald spots on the cat"s body, then you don"t need to worry too much. But what is more worrying is that when a cat has bald spots due to excessive hair loss, you need to take him to the vet. This article will introduce you several common causes of cat bald spots.

 

1. External parasites

One of the common causes of bald spots on cat hair is fleas or other external parasites. The cat will feel very itchy due to the bite of the flea and will scratch this area all the time.

2. Allergic reactions

Like humans, cats are also allergic to dust, pollen, drugs, and food. When the cat is allergic, in order to relieve the itching, he will keep licking the fur until bald spots appear.

3. Hormonal imbalance

When the cat"s hormones are out of balance, the hair follicles often die, and the hair does not grow back.

4. Fungal infections

The most intuitive manifestation of fungal infection is ringworm. Ringworm is highly contagious to other cats and humans. If your cat is infected with ringworm, the cat’s hair will become brittle and flaked off.

5. Hyperthyroidism

When a cat suffers from hyperthyroidism, the cat"s skin will be affected by abnormal hormones in the body, which will eventually cause bald spots on the cat"s body.
