Siamese Losing Hair

Noticed today that she is licking it and it seems to be getting worse. I made an appointment tomorrow night. Someone on Facebook mentioned it possibly being a "hot spot". Hopefully she'll be okay.

How did the appointment go??

The Vet gave her an antibiotic shot and a steroid shot. She said that Olivia is OCD. I have to watch the spot. If it doesn't get better or if she continues to lick it she may need "the cone of shame".

Awwwww... for her sake (AND yours!) I hope this does the trick. Keeping fingers crossed for you both!

She could have an allergy to fleas. Or, it could be her diet. You need to get her to a vet. He'll give her a cortisone shot to stop the itching.

I had a femal cat named Fred, adopted. We loved her very much. She had the weirdest habit, unfortunately . She was always indoors, threre were no fleas. She had scabs on her belly, well we could not figure out why. Turns out... she was chewing her nipples off. We have no clue why. She would only do it when we were asleep. Once we finally figured it out she died one year later. She was very well fed, just a strange girl.

Perhaps I should elaberat a wee bit on Freddy. She was a large cat and we adopted her when she was 4 yrs. old. She lived with a larger, agressive cat and a lovely older woman. I think she may have suffered from PTSD cuz she was bullied by the larger pussycat. She flew solo, we had no other cats whilst she was with us. She never really relaxed in those 5 yrs. LIKE EVER. Hey, we did our level best Can't win if ya don't try
