Why is my 6-week-old kitten losing fur? Is this normal or serious?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. With Nola being so young it is possible that she has a skin parasite or skin infection that needs treatment. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. She may need an anti-parasite medication or antibiotic for treatment. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to a number of reasons such as allergies, a bacterial infection, mange, among many other reasons. It does sound like you think he may be feeling sick as well so I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment so that he can be started on the right therapy. Best of luck!

I would bring Kitten 4 to the vet for a checkup if you haven't already. Not getting enough nutrition, an underlying illness or metabolic issue, or even something such as parasites/fungal/skin infections could be causing hair loss. Excessive grooming by the kitten or mom may also cause hair loss in the areas where it is scratched or licked too much. If kitten is bothered by it, using an e-collar or tiny t-shirt to prevent scratching and chewing may help until your vet can take a look to determine the cause.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Loki. Poor kitty. I don't know if the fur loss is connected to the food change, but it may be unrelated. It could be due to fleas, mites, or ringworm. I'd have him seen by a vet to have this diagnosed and treated. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Without seeing Bubu it’s hard to say why she has hair loss. I doubt it is from her diet but I would be concerned about parasites like fleas 9 demodex or she could have a skin infection. I recommend taking her to a vet for an exam. They may also check a stool sample for intestinal parasites which could be taking her nutrients causing hair loss. Good luck and kisses to Bubu!

Hairloss in a kitten is commonly caused by a ringworm infection. Goopy eyes and/or nose is commonly caused by an upper respiratory infection. I would recommend having Ace examined by a vet for proper diagnosis and treatment. https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/ringworm/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-things-you-should-know-about-feline-respiratory-infections/

This is probably caused by an allergic reaction. first of all make sure you de-flea Sushi regularly every month with a high quality spot on (ex. Advantage) as fleas are by far the most common reason for these reactions. If the fleas are not the problem, it could be an allergic reaction to food or an environmental factor. this is more complicated to treat and will sometimes require medications such as Steroids, anti histamines or cyclosporin in order to stop the allergy.
