Thanks for the question! It's great that you're vigilant about your cat's health. If your vet ruled out mange, there are a few other things that might be causing your cat's skin issues. Common causes include flea allergies, food sensitivities, or environmental allergies, either from something new in your home or seasonal pollen. Some cats also develop skin problems due to over-grooming when stressed.
At home, carefully inspect your cat's coat for fleas or flea dirt. Regular grooming can help distribute natural oils and improve skin health. You may also try using a hypoallergenic diet or a limited ingredient food to see if things improve.
Keep an eye out for severe itching, redness, swelling, or any open sores—these could signal an infection which needs immediate vet attention. Changes in watering, eating, or litter habits are also important to mention to a vet.
Monitoring your cat's living environment for any recent changes and maintaining a stress-free atmosphere can be beneficial.
If your cat's condition persists or worsens, it might be a good idea to book a video consult via Dial A Vet. We're here to help pinpoint the issue so your furry friend can feel better soon.

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
