Symptom perception
Jennifer Lavallee, a veterinarian, explained that cat hair loss is normal and that there are two cycles of hair loss per year. The cats' turnover patterns are different, and there are cats with very few hairs, while some cats suffer from hair loss very much.
However, if the underlying skin of the cat is red, rather than white, or rugged and inflamed, it could be a symptom of hair loss. You may also suspect hair loss symptoms if you are vomiting or pulling a bunch of hair. Even if you do not see hairy marks often in your house, you should not assume that there is no hair loss because the cat can eat hair while grooming.
In fact, healthy cats have no change in the texture of the hair. It is generally clean, soft and uniform in shape. If a cat looks sharp as if it chewed its hair, then you should also suspect signs of hair loss. If you are under stress, suffering from disease or parasites, cats will over-groom or pull hair.
Treatment and prevention
If you have already seen signs of alopecia, you should realize that your cat is suffering now and bring it to your veterinarian immediately. Or you can try some simple ways to improve at home.
First of all, it is good to change to a protein-rich diet, but salmon or turkey is suitable. It is more effective to add vitamins E and B. However, some veterinarians claim that fish fed with fish may cause hyperthyroidism.
In addition to diet improvement, vaccination should prevent hair loss as well as potential disease. It is also important to keep your body clean with a bath. Experts advised that brushes should also be of high quality.
