| cat advice Mojo, our family cat, has recently lost a lot of hair. He's lost patches of hair on his head and has scabs from scratching. He's also lost a huge patch of hair covering half of his belly and is apparently sore because he won't let me pet him there. We recently had a flea outbreak, but they are all gone now. Any suggestions of what to do?

| Sounds like it could be a flea allergy, and he is chewing out his hair. Give the vet a call, and the vet will probably give him a steroid shot. It works within days, and I have always had great results. Good luck! |

| Thanks! That's what I was thinking that it is allergies but I didn't know about the steroid shot.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | That sounds exactly like our Keekee. He got a steriod shot, some antibotics to help heal the sores, a shot for tapeworms, and some frontline. That took care of everything.
