About cat hair loss
Probably the meow parents are used to it
You can even slip around anytime and anywhere—
The cat loses its hair, I lose my hair, and I am not afraid of the wind and rain
Cats are iron, cats are steel, and the master does not panic when he loses his hair
It is normal for cats to shed their fur
But that doesn't mean it can be left to chance
Here in Xiaomao, cat hair loss is also a science
After all, the location of the hair loss
It can also intuitively reflect the physical condition of the cat
Before that, let's look at two questions
Why do cats lose their hair?
What should I do if my cat loses her hair?
Why drop?
1. Physiological hair loss
It is normal to say that cats lose their hair
Because that's the natural metabolism
They also change their hair according to the temperature and season
2. Pathological hair loss
This one is abnormal hair loss
However, some parents tend to generalize the normal and the abnormal, often delaying the opportunity for healing
The causes of pathological hair loss are complex
In addition to general skin diseases
There are also nutrition, environment, climate and other issues
Hair removal caused by endocrine disorders is more severe
But just pay attention to the location, distribution, and number of cat hair loss
It is also not difficult to distinguish between pathological hair loss and physiological hair loss
And about the problem of physiological hair loss
XiaoMao also has a few tricks here
Parents use Ha ~ as appropriate
First, eat less salt
Food that is too salty can easily cause hair loss
So don't give cats anything too salty
XiaoMao suggested that ha, the love cat rice that he made for the cat, it is best not to put salt.~
Second, increase carding
In the season when cats are prone to hair loss
Parents may wish to increase the number of times they groom their cats
Especially long-haired cats, it is best to be able to groom them every day
If it's a shorthaired cat
Parents can also brush their bodies with a brush dipped in water
It also quickly clears off their shed hair
Third, reasonable bathing
For the health of the skin and hair
Cats need to bathe regularly, but not too much
Because cats prefer to be clean
And frequent bathing will destroy the protective layer of the skin
So if you want a healthy cat's hair, you just need to wash it regularly
If the cat has severe hair removal, it is not cared for
It is very easy to produce the phenomenon of being rolled out by the felt and clumping
Next, I want to talk to you
The cat has a pathological hair loss
Although the causes of this hair loss are more complicated
But we can also make a preliminary judgment on the health problems of cats based on the location of hair loss
1. Ear hair loss
If hair loss occurs in the ear
Most likely food allergies or ear mites
- Redness and rash on the skin at the hair loss may be food allergy hair loss
- If a cat scratches the position behind the ear due to ear itching, it will also cause the root of the ear and the edge of the ear to break and shed hair, which is because of ear mites
If there is no difference in hair loss around the ear, it may be caused by vitamin deficiency
If you find that the cat has more hair loss around the ears
If there are no other obvious symptoms
It's time to consider vitamin supplementation for cats
2. Hair loss on the chin
The cat's jaw is hairy
It is accompanied by a rash and black dregs
It is folliculitis of cat acne and cat pimples
This is due to diseases that occur due to the accumulation of fat blocks
It is mainly caused by endocrine disorders
3. Hair loss on the front and back feet
Although cats do not get interdedgeitis
However, there will be hair loss on the front and back feet
Most of this is when the cat feels stressed
Or there is a small wound that causes it to keep biting the meow jio
So that the hair falls out
4. Generalized hair loss
Accompanied by a strong itching sensation
The hairs on various parts of the body are constantly falling off
The soft skin of the abdomen and thighs is ulcerated
Sometimes it also occurs in the lip area
This is mostly a symptom of eosinophilic glangulomas
Timely intervention by a veterinarian is required
Everyone must not drag ha!
5. Hair loss on the face
In fact, many skin diseases of pets begin to spread from the face
For example, when food allergies, ear mites and other diseases occur
The face may also be hairless, red and swollen
Fungal skin diseases are more common on the mouth of the face, around the eyes and other places
The cat will scratch constantly because of the itching
Treatment of this skin disease
If it is serious, it is necessary to take medicine and the medicinal bath at the same time, although it looks tricky, but the method will be faster to recover
6. Hair loss on the neck
Food allergies, allergic skin diseases of fleas
Hair removal of the neck may also occur
Special attention is required
Fleas like to parasitize behind the necks of cats with many hairs and wrinkles
Therefore, it is easy to cause allergies parents to pay attention to
7. Hair loss on the back
Allergic dermatitis of fleas extends from the back to the tail
In addition, skin diseases caused by stress
It is also easy to cause hair loss on the back
8. Symmetrical hair loss
Left and right sides of the body
or symmetrical hair loss on both sides of the underarm
It may be due to unsustered or drug effects
Caused by endocrine imbalances
9. The tail is hairy
The so-called tail is actually the location of the base of the cat's tail
This is a reaction to seborrheic dermatitis
The surface of the caudal root is red, swollen and inflamed
If it is serious, the cat will also keep biting and shedding its hair

It doesn't matter if you can't remember it ~ remember to collect!
