Bald spots

Yes Lut this would be from Ear Scratching.. Check Snoopy's Ears for dirt or mites.. I will use a small flashlight to look in my babies ears.. Then I have Cat Medicated Ear Qtips I use.. It cleans out the dirt & has aleo for soothing of the ear.. You can get the Cat Qtips at Walmart or a Pet Store.. Also to put on the babies outside of ear where hair is gone = use Cat Hydro Spray or vasilene..

Lol, the nearest Walmart is across the ocean

I will go to the vet with her. It doesn't look like ringworm; her ears look clean too. Wonder what's wrong

I'd be inclined to get her seen by a vet - poor Snoops

My Creamsicle lost hair by her ears, then she started losing all over, especially on the top of her head and near her tail. Poor little girl scratched til I thought she'd go crazy and it turned out to be allergies. She's on meds for it now and even so, occasionally she has to get a depo shot. Is Snoopy scratching? Do you see or feel any little bumps? I hope whatever is going on w/Snoopy gets cleared up quickly.

If you want Lut I can send you a pack of them.. They are so good for the babies ears.. You can also buy Ear Wipes.. Now lets see what the Vet says & let us know ok..

Lut, I'm sorry to hear this.

Hopefully it's not ringworm again. My Storm is allergic to fish and this also happened to him in the past so maybe it's food allergies. I'd have her checked out. Please keep us updated.

been to the vet today!
Snoopy was such a good girl

No hissing, no squirming, no attacking!!
The vet didn't see a direct cause for the bald spots. It isn' a allergic reaction or infection. Her ears are clean too. To be sure that there is no skin issue, he took a few samples and sent it off to the lab. I will know the results by the end of next week. He thinks it only a temporary thing; but better be sure than sick
