Five common causes of cat hair shedding and their solutions

1, seasonal hair removal

It is normal for cats to lose their hair when the seasons alternate, just like from spring to summer, so you will find that cats in summer are not as furry as those in winter, but the overall hair quantity will not change much.

2. Fungal depilation

Fungal depilation is a kind of cat moss that we often hear. Mao Mao, which is growing, will be infected by it, resulting in broken hair. Hair broken from the roots is depilation. Cats with severe depilation often scratch and rub.

3. Hair removal caused by mites

Mostly on the face and nose and mouth, if the body is infected, it will lead to irregular hair removal. If it can be determined that it is caused by cat mites, ivermectin or drugs containing it can be used, and both oral and injection can have obvious effects.

4. Nutritional depilation

The main reason of nutritional depilation is the serious lack of protein, unsaturated fatty acids and some trace elements. This reason is not very common in domestic cats, and generally there is only overnutrition. If it is determined to be nutritional depilation, it is only necessary to improve the nutritional value of cat food.

5, mental depilation

If there are many cats at home, and one of them is often bullied, which leads to long-term depression, people can intervene to protect the bullied cats.

In order to seek attention, cats want their owners to spend more time with them.

There is no cat climbing frame, no cat toys and no one to play with at home.

All the above situations will lead to cats licking their hair too much because they are too bored, which will lead to depilation, so we should pay more attention to cats and play with them more.

Treatment of severe hair loss in cats

There is no special treatment for seasonal cat hair loss and mental stress cat hair loss. Comb the cat's hair, keep the house quiet and comfort the companion cat properly. If the shedding of cat hair is caused by tinea felis, the following methods can be used for treatment:

① Skin treatment: Furnon skin spray combined with zinc oxide ointment can treat tinea felis for cats, which is the choice of many shovels, which can sterilize skin and promote mucosal repair.

② To prevent the transmission of sick cats, they should be isolated from normal cats. Can you try shaving the sick cat to prevent the spread of fungi?

(3) Environmental purification: deeply clean the places where cats often stay, the corners where they play and the dead corners. You can choose a vacuum cleaner for vacuum cleaning, and then thoroughly clean it with a low concentration disinfectant.

④ Cat food, rich in lecithin and unsaturated fatty acids, and containing fish and deep-sea fish oil, is used as an auxiliary treatment for cats, and the effects of promoting granulation and beautifying hair of multivitamins are supplemented.

⑤ Regular deworming For the cat's hair loss caused by mites, it is necessary to use in-vitro deworming drugs such as Pointe's non-polonium drops in time to let the cat bask in the sun, which is also very helpful for killing mite bacteria.
