Hi
My cat (8 years old) is losing fur quite rapidly. Everyday I find tufts of it on the carpet. He does a lot of grooming which seems to contribute to the lumps of fur I find.
He is nearly bald on the underside of his belly, and this summer he seems to be thinning on one side of his belly.
I have taken him to the vets and he gave him some tablets to help him ‘chill outâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]. He said it could be a ‘mental thingâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]. He found no fleas or ticks and generally said he was a healthy cat. These tablets didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t seem to work and nearly a year later he still has the same condition. I think itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s a waste of time and money going back for more tablets.
He doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t seem to have any serious problems with other cats in the area and is well looked after. He eats well, and generally does as he pleases.
I am at a loss of what the problem can be. Does anyone have any advice on this subject or a link to a similar problem? It would be much appreciated.
