Hello there,
It sounds like your kitty is going through a bit of a rough patch, literally! Missing patches of hair on a cat can be concerning, but let's try to figure it out together.
There are several reasons why your cat might be losing hair. It could be due to allergies, either from food or something in their environment like pollen or dust. Cat fleas and mites can also cause intense itching, leading your cat to scratch and bite, resulting in hair loss. Stress or anxiety might also play a role, causing your cat to over-groom certain areas. Lastly, it could be a skin infection or even a hormonal issue.
For at-home care, make sure your cat is on a regular flea prevention plan, and you could give her a gentle, soothing bath if she's tolerant of baths. Keep her environment calm and enriched with toys and activities to reduce stress.
Watch for signs like redness, swelling, sores, or any foul smells from the skin—these could indicate an infection or other issues needing professional attention. If you notice your cat acting lethargic or if the problem persists, it's a good idea to have her checked out.
To get a tailored care plan and discuss these symptoms in more detail, please consider booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We're here to help!

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
