Thanks for the reply! I'm so glad to hear that things are under control for the most part. My kitty is long haired too -- a beautiful calico. I treated for fleas about two weeks ago and I think that's helped but it's too soon to say. We've considered all the things you mentioned: stress, food...
Did your kitty ever regrow the hair near her tail? My kitty is doing something similar and I'm wondering what you learned after all you did. Hoping all is well.
Thanks!
