Hello there!
I'm sorry to hear that your cat is dealing with sensitive skin issues. Cats can develop skin problems due to a number of reasons, and it’s great that you’re reaching out to get to the bottom of this.
Common causes for skin sensitivity in cats include allergies, infections, or even parasites like fleas. Allergies can stem from things like food, environmental factors (like pollen or dust), or contact with certain materials. Infections, particularly fungal or bacterial, can also lead to redness, itching, or hair loss.
For mild cases, you can try some at-home care by gently bathing your cat with lukewarm water and a hypoallergenic pet shampoo to soothe the skin. Make sure your home is flea-free, as these little critters can exacerbate skin issues. Keep an eye on the skin for any signs of worsening, such as increased redness, swelling, any discharge, or if your cat seems excessively uncomfortable or is losing patches of fur.
If you notice these more serious symptoms or if there's no improvement, it’s important to get professional advice. Booking a video consult with Dial A Vet will allow a vet to assess your cat’s condition and guide you on the best next steps.
Take care, and we’re here whenever you need us!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
