We can realize if there is an incipient problem if the cat seems to be polish more than the habitual thing and if he vomits frequently balls of hair. Other signs are scratching, itching or nibbling their skin, however, it seems that there are cats that only scratch themselves when they are alone, and the problem is not perceived immediately. And it isn't used to visit to the veterinarian until the bald appears, exfoliation or crusts, alone or combined. Usually It is not easy to locate the concrete cause of a problem of the skin, because the symptoms almost never aim at a specific illness. The veterinary can examine the fur to see if there are short hairs and well holding that be broken and is used to observe them in the microscope for seeing if there are signs of break: this indicates that exists a problem of prurito to scratched. You will have in mind other various factors in order to get a diagnosis: the itch or prurito, It is limited only to a part of the body-as the ears or the legs-or extends to all the body? Does it influence the season of the year? Are there other animals-or people- in the house with symptoms of stinging? Has there been some recent changes in the diet of the cat or in its environment, as a new mark of detergent? Has the cat been in contact with some chemical product? |
