Hi all - I’d really appreciate if any of you have gone through this or know what it might be could share some insights. My cat Boba is around 3 years old and we noticed he started losing fur a little bit on the back of his hind legs. That patch grew and looked crusty. We took him to the vet 3 days ago and our vet wasn’t able to tell why it is happening - at least nothing conclusive. Could be fleas although he couldn’t find any evidence of fleas on him, allergies, rash etc. He gave him a dose of convenia and revolution. The vet suggested the next step could be steroids but on this visit he detected a heart murmur so he advised against it and suggested an ultrasound instead. A day after the vet, I noticed a new bald patch on his hind paws. I’m really worried and not knowing what it might be is stressing me out. I’m wondering if it’s allergies to food or his litter or if it’s stress induced or something else entirely. With the vet not being sure and seeing the bald patch grow, I’m very concerned. Anyone have ideas what it might be possibly? Or have experienced this? Boba is otherwise quite himself - no changes in behavior. I’ve attached photos. Thank you very much.
