I've got ringworm going on right now with 5 foster kittens, it's not an easy problem to deal with. If your cat has a sensitive stomach you can get prescription shampoo from the vet and bathe her 2x a week for 8 weeks. You will also need to frequently was bedding and have the carpets cleaned.
A whole host of problems can cause hairloss and itching. Does she get outside at all? Do you have other cats and are they affected? I'd say a trip to the vet is in order.
If she has been having seizures for a couple of years did they give you a diagnosis when it first started? Is she currently being medicated? If so maybe she just needs a dosage adjustment. The period after a seizure is called post-ictal, during this time the affected individual (human or...

This is a great thread! I feed both the dogs and the cats CS. When I last went to the feed store to stock up I considered changing because the dogs are constantly grazing on grass. I talked to the owner of the feed store and she couldn't spout enough good things about CS. She discouraged me...
Actually, roundworm is an intestinal parasite. Ringworm is a fungal infection. You are doing the right thing by having them de-wormed. If your cats have come in contact with fleas it is possible that they have tapeworm. Tapeworms look like small grains of rice around the anus and on the...
Hi all! I found this site and hope to become an active member. I'm owned by 5 kitties (one sphynx, hence, baldkitty). I also have 5 fosters at the moment so I'm up to my eyeballs in kitties, poop and fur.
