If it is overgrooming then how is she grooming the fur off her ears? Well even if it isn't a food allergy, she is in love with her new food! We have to separate her from the other 3 to feed her the grain-free food and she will take a few bites, come over and rub our legs and purr, then go back...

I posted a while back about our cat, Tyran, and her fur loss. It started on her back legs. At first it was a thinning of the fur on the backs and insides of her back legs. We figured it was just stress and didn't pay it any mind. Its been a while now and we just looked her over and she has...

We will try the Feliway and do intros very very slowly. We were hoping to take the dogs to a neutral area (like a dog park) and introduce the dogs there on leashes. She rescues dogs so the dogs are used to new dogs coming into the house. She said the landlord doesn't care about how many...

Whenever I give raw to the cats or dog its like a riot in my house. They can't wait for me to put the plate down. Sometimes the cats try and climb my legs. I've decided that tonight, they are going to get whatever the ferret's don't eat tonight. The ferrets were offered 7oz of chicken leg with a...

Well with my menu plan and with the amounts I need to feed per cat, per ferret, and per dog, per day, I'm looking at about 15lbs of food per week, with a cost of around $200 per month, which comes out to be about .75-$1 per day per animal, which sounds about right, but that's really expensive...

I might be moving soon (just need to get the security deposit together) and I have a few questions about moving the cats. Now, I've moved the cats a few times but never in with a roommate. We will be renting a house and my husband's coworker is joining us as a roommate. She already lives at the...

Hmm, I will definitely do some flea treatments then, both to the area and to them. None of my kitties have allergies to flea meds, that we have observed, so I might get them something soon. Definitely before we move. I can't right now as we just had to take our ferret to the vet (she passed away...

Ramman, our long haired cat had dental problems from the time he was a kitten. The vet said he had the beginnings of gingivitis and told us to brush his teeth with a special toothpaste she gave us. His gums were getting red and he had bad breath. Most of the cats were also lazy and Ramman also...

There is no redness in the area, just fur loss. I caught her grooming her front legs this morning and she was really into it, like she just couldn't groom the spot enough.

All of our cats are healthy, happy, playful, and eat/drink normally. The only problem is Tyran. She's 3.5 years old and has been very healthy so far. Recently (over the past few months), we've noticed some fur loss on the inside of her back legs. At first we thought it was a food allergy and...

We feed our cats Iams right now. They used to eat Nutro, but we heard some bad things about it, and switched them over to Iams. About a year ago, we tried raw with our cats as an experiment and fed them raw for 1 month. We were very pleased with the results and would like to switch them over to...

There is no redness or sores. We did just move so I guess stress could be an issue. She is acting normally and we have not seen her scratch or bite excessively. The fur loss is pretty even on both sides. We noticed a small patch on her front leg starting to lose fur. We have checked several...

I'll try and get pictures of it. I don't think its an allergy. They've been eating the same food since I got her back in 06.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? As far as diet, they are fed Nutro Indoor Formula (green label).

We just noticed that our 3 year old marble tabby, Tyran, is showing signs of fur loss on her back legs, from about mid foot up. My husband said he thought he noticed slight fur loss a while back but didn't give it much thought. Now you can really tell. The fur is thin and almost non-existent in...
