Hello,

Maybe someone else has had this problem. My two cats seem to have scabs on their bodies.. one more than the other. And losing fur. Is this a serious problem? Or May know what this could be... Thanks for any replies!

Could also be flea allergies or a few other things. It's best to get your kitty to a vet for diagnosis and the right meds.

Take them to a vet. Sounds suspiciously like a flea allergy/infestation, but as it is over the internet, a vet is the best way to know for sure. Do not try to treat anything with over-the-counter medications, as they are fairly dangerous.

How long is it since you noticed? Sometimes ticks can look and feel like scabs for a few days before they start to swell.
