fur biting
Hi
I have a small tabby female who keeps biting / scratching at the base of her tail so that only very short fur grows there.She is a nervous cat but sat steadfastly on the feet of my husband when he died recently,up until the very time he was buried. The skin looks OK where the fur is short but the tail looks like it belongs to a poodle.She has been flea treated like the other cats who don't have any problem. Does anyone know how to make her stop. |

Does anyone know how to make her stop. When is the last time she saw a vet? She might have a skin condition, or she might have an emotional condition due to her grieving for your husband, or another reason. If she is doing in because of a skin problem she might stop when the condition is treated. If she is doing it because she is depressed or anxious, there are medications that can help that too. She sounds like a wonderful girl. I'm very sorry about your husband. |
