Feral cat with hair loss and skin damages

Thread Starter 

I feed a bunch of feral cats and recently one has lost a lot of hair as well as developed skin damages.

 

Here are a few pictures of her.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the cause of it? Any suggestions for treatment?

The best would be to let a vet check her up.   I mean, not to guess and try with home remedies, but let a good vet check it out. Home remedies may perhaps be useful after it, when we know what it is.

 

Use a trap if necessary.  Or try to wrap her up with some thick towel... When wrapped up and defenceless, they do submit.

 

How looks your works?  Are them spayed/neutered, or are you doing it as soon as you have occasion?

If so - you surely do cooperate with a vet...  :)

 

If not - giving the hungry food is nice and well, but it becomes excellent first when you also neuter them (or find foster / adoptions homes).  Please do please on neutering them...

 

 

Good luck!   *vibes*

 

ps.  Welcome to the TCS site and our forums!

WELCOME TO TCS clap.gifclap.gif. AWWW poor baby.... That actually looks like a bite wound of some sort... i do see where the hair is thinning - but that wound needs to be treated. I would also suggest that you trap this kitty and see about getting a vet to check her out. Please DO look into a TNR organization about getting this group of feral cats sterilized. It is the best thing to do - otherwise - just more kittens and more suffering. Thank you SO much for caring and trying to help this kitty. vibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gif

  " Please do PLAN on neutering them"   was what I wanted to write.

 

A typo, and now I cant edit in the original post, I dont know why.

 

 

As said, please tell more what and how you are doing this caretaking of your colony...
