Hello,
I am Roxie. I am very glad to meet you here at this site. I have a question that really worries me
and that I want to ask you about.
My question is about hair growing over 1 inch longer with Felix, 15 years old, medium hair orange tabby.
I did not realize it could be a problem until a week ago.
Diagnosed with small intestinal small cell lymphoma in November 2022, Felix has been on Prednisolone
(5 mg once daily) and Chlorambucil (1.8 mg every other day) for 6 months. About 5 weeks ago, I noticed
the hair around Felix’s neck, in all directions, grew very noticeably longer, including the hair on his chest.
The hair on his tummy has grown longer as well. His hair just keeps growing, and now they turn over 1 inch
longer. As a medium hair orange tabby, Felix now looks like a lion from some angles with those newly grown
hair.
Here goes my question for you: is this hair growing much longer within weeks not usually seen in adult/senior
cats? I am very worried. I would appreciate it so much for your help.
Wishing you all a Happy Memorial Day.
Much Thanks,
Roxie
