First step....take your cat to the vet as soon as possible. This could be a
number of things -- allergies, parasites, behavioral. S. "smoggy" wrote in message oups.com... my cat who is about 9 years old has started to lose her fur under her bellie and inside its rear legs,this started about 8 weeks ago,and she is allmost bald.anyone help please. |

She needs to see a vet. She may have a fungus infection.

I just responded to you on rpca, but I am repeating it here. You need to see a veterinarian!! All of us on this group love cats (that's why we're here), but it simply isn't possible to diagnose a specific problem from "long distance." Moreover, most of have no medical training and you have described a problem that has existed for several weeks. It is long past the time when your cat should have had a medical evaluation. Please make an appointment immediately! (And then please check back and give us an update.) MaryL |

See a vet. There's one thing you can check though. Have a close look at the fur that is still there. Is it rough, chopped off short, or does it come to a natural point? If it's short, then your cat's doing the same thing Meep is: fur mowing. We haven't diagnosed Meep's problem yet, she was put on a long-acting antibiotic but there result was inconclusive. We know she licks at it, but only when I'm not looking, so the suspicion is behavioral. Got Feliway, been about a month, but so far no change. Watch her when she grooms. Does she spend more time on her belly? Is she biting at the fur there, or otherwise grooming it differently than the rest of her body? The vet might ask this... Any environmental changes, changes in the household routine, changes in her food? All clues for the vet to figure out what's wrong. Take her to the vet, and let us know what the vet says. jmc |
