Cat's skin peeling off with hair

Hello there,



I'm sorry to hear that your cat is having trouble with her skin and fur. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this and help your feline friend feel better soon. Skin peeling with hair loss can happen for several reasons. It might be due to an allergic reaction, often to something like a new food, fleas, or another type of allergen in their environment. It could also be due to a skin infection, parasites such as mites, or even stress which can lead to over-grooming and subsequent hair and skin irritation.



In the meantime, try keeping your cat's environment calm and stress-free. Ensure her diet is consistent and watch for any itching or signs of discomfort. Applying a damp, cool cloth to the affected area can sometimes offer relief.



Be on the lookout for redness, significant changes in her behavior, or if the condition seems to be getting worse, like developing sores or increasing hair loss, as these might indicate something more serious that needs veterinary attention.



I'd recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians here on Dial A Vet. They can take a closer look and offer more personalized advice. I hope your furry companion is feeling better soon!
