    I think there is something wrong with Snow!

    Yesterday, I gave Snow a bath because she got all dirty because my sister dumped dirt from the plants onto the cat. When I was getting all the soap off of her, I found a large loss of hair on her leg. The area looked red like it was bleeding. There was also a little loss of hair on her face, but that area looks black. Snow stopped eating all of a sudden. She won't eat any of her food. She wants to (she meows at her food bowl) but she won't eat. I show her the food and Snow will look at it and walk away.

    Other then that Snow is acting fine. Is there sonmething wrong with Snow? What should I do??
    Thank you so much for my siggy, kittycats_delight!

    Oh poor Snow, she doesn't appear to be feeling too well. I think you should keep an eye on her, and if she still doesn't eat tomorrow, take her to the vet and get her checked.

    I hope she will be better soon!

    My mom said that we are going to keep an eye on Snow. If she doesn't eat soon or if she looses more hair, than we are going to take her to the vet.

    Take Snow to the vet, the sooner the better. Why would she lose hair all of a sudden?

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I would also take her to the vet asap. Did you notice any black specs on her? If so she may have fleas and this may be the reason she's loosing her fur or it could be a hot spot caused by stress or food allergies. Hopefully it isn't ringworm.The black area on her face could be feline acne if it's on her chin. I'd definitely have a vet check this out. I sure hope it's nothing serious. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

    There were black specs on her, but I put some flea meds on her. Before that I washed her down with flea shampoo. That's when I noticed the loss of hair. The black area is by her whiskers.

    Yesterday, my mom went to the pet store and got her new food. Snow has been eating the same food for f4 years so my mom thought she was tired of eating the same thing. Well, we dumped out the old food and put some new food in. Snow ate a couple pieces but that was it. At least she's improving!

    The last thing you or Snow needs is an infected abcess. That's what'll happen if you don't treat it.

    PLEASE tell your mom to make an appointment for the vet to see Snow as soon as possible. This could be something really serious.
