My cat is about 6 years old and her hind legs have become raw and she's also losing hair around

I've noticed recently that she is going bald around her butt and tail. I've also noticed that she is grooming in that area a lot, could this be a reason she is losing hair?

It might be the mange, especially if the area is scabbing over. Go take her to the vet.

Possibly.



It could be a parasite or infection.



I suggest bringing your cat to the vet.

Allergies. My cat had the same problem. I gav her a 1/4 of a dose of childrens benadryl and my vet put her on steroids for 10 days.

Allergies to fleas can cause something such as what you describe. Certain types or worms can also cause the hair to fall out. If the area turns dry and appears to be shedding dead skin then chances are it's ringworm. It could be any number of things. Only a vet could take the guesswork out of these symptoms.

Good possibility that her constant grooming is causing the hair loss,... especially all in that area.



But if not the reason, then could also be a hormone deficiency.



She's got to be uncomfortable if not suffering.



Try to get her to vet and looked at and try to refrain from prednisone use (steroid), it's only a bandaid treatment for unknown causes and does have side effects I don't like.



Benadryl will ease her with some relief only, if allergies,.. but there's gotta be a reason,.. I think if not parasites then hormone loss,... I'm taking for granted that she is spayed.

There are a few things that it could be. Initially, I thought it could be mange. Or it could be fleas. Sometimes cats get nervous or stressed and will lick an area raw. Something is definitely not right and you should bring her to the vet asap. The would could get infected and spread, so treat it now or it could get worse later

When you took her to the vet for this problem, he told you ... what?

My dog has the same problem. She looks like she i s wearing tight pants. :D But my mom took her to the vet like 3 times and paid like 100 dollars each time. But they gave her cortozone I think?! My cat also had a skin problem they gave him cortozone shots that would only clear it up for a little while. But we got him a grass plant (1.99 at freds in the produce section wheat grass) and he looked a lot better. 100% better I know a dog a gain but my teacher said one of there student's dog:D had the same thing and the made there own natural food but you can buy at anywhere natrual food iams, the goodlife recipe ect. (?) Just don't uthenize her please. I hope this helps her. If she has fleas my mom went to a vca animals hospital and bought flea stuff you put be tween the shoulder blades it's like 15$ 4 a 1 month 44 for a 3 month supply. Scratching or grooming? Please keep her inside if you don't thank you if you do

probably fleas. or parasite infection take her to the vet. she may also have a secondary skin infection that needs antibiotics.
