Hello. Thanks in advance for your help. My 6 year old cat has been itching a lot lately. In addition, he seems to be having some hair falling out near his ears, above his eyes. The hair is thinning out. But he never scratches in that area at all. Any
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Based on your description and the pictures you have provided, this sounds as though Boba may be dealing with an allergy. There is nothing concerning in the pictures. It is difficult to say what the cause is as there are so many things that can cause allergies. I would recommend by starting with the below recommended products. If there is no improvement, I would recommend having Boba examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. He may need prescription medication to help with the main problem. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Welactin omega 3 fish oil capsules for cats 2. Douxo PS Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 3. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the affected areas until resolved. 4. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent

How do I clear up a skin allergies
Allergies can be frustrating to manage due to having multiple causes. These include fleas, food and environmental (contact or inhaled) allergies. Fleas and flea bite allergies are easiest to manage using a topical or oral preventative monthly as well as maintaining a flea free environment by cleaning regularly and using an environmental treatment such as Knockout ES. Environmental allergies can be managed with antihistamines and by reducing or eliminating any potential allergens. This can be difficult depending on specific allergies. Steroids can be used to provide itch relief or inflammation as needed. These are typically prescribed by your veterinarian. Colloidal oatmeal shampoo/conditioners can soothe itchy skin. Fish oil supplements, such as EicosaCaps, DermCaps or Welactin, may promote healthy skin and coat. Food allergies and sensitivities may be diagnosed or managed by food elimination trials, hydrolyzed diets or limited ingredient diets. You can also discuss allergy testing

I believe my 8 year old male cat has miliary dermatitis. He is an indoor cat and we also have an 8 year old female dog. Can you recommend a home remedy for the dermatitis. And a recommendation for flea prevention for cats. Thank you very much.
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco! Here is a link explaining more about miliary dermatitis. I cannot tell if that is exactly the problem based on that one photo. ( https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/feline-miliary-dermatitis/ ) For a cat, I would use this leave on mousse product as treatment. I would apply it once a day in the beginning and once the clinical signs start to dissipate you can then go to every 2 or 3 days. Continue use until all the bumps on the skin are gone. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-6673-douxo-chlorhexidine-climbazole-mousse-for-dogs-and-cats-68-oz.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo%20mousse+Auto ) A good over the counter flea prevention for cats is Cheristin. I would apply the Cheristin and then wait 24 hours before bathing or using any topical products. If the miliary dermatitis is from fleas, you need to apply this EVERY month. If you are having a flea problem then you definitely should treat the environment for fleas as well, otherwise you have a major infes

My female cat, 1 yo is now crying excessively, bites it’s legs and licks that area more often.. it’s not heat period I can see she’s feeling pain.. sometimes she breathes fast while crying, gets tired easily and asks to sleep... is it because she has
This is probably due to an allergy, although it could also be infection or mites. Intense itch is possibly causing her to bite and lick excessively legs area. First of all, in order to rule out skin parasites, you will need to treat with a high quality flea treatment, then ask the vet to perform a skin scrape - this might reveal an infection or a mite infestation. If all of those came back negative, the next step is to treat the allergy symptomatically and try to discover the cause of the allergy. Three main type of allergies are usually affecting pets: food allergies, flea and parasite related ones and environmental type (allergens coming from trees, pollens, dust etc etc). Some medications can be given by the vet in order to repair any possible skin lesions (like steroids and antibiotics). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

My dog had an issue regarding flees for more than 3 months , we used to wash him with a shampoo but it only lasted 2 days and flees would attack him again . We thought after all the thourough cleaning and room cleanse would remove fleas after a while
The only way to help your dog is to make sure there are absolutely no fleas that can bite him as that can cause the allergy. Besides the flea medication from the vet you need to do the following: Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. Flea products: Spot-ons and/or chews Advantage, Advantix Advantage Mult
