My cat is pulling fur from her neck. Is it mites and how to treat?

Poor Tora! This hair loss could be due to a skin or fungal infection, fleas, mites, allergies, or endocrine disorder. Having her seen by a vet tomorrow is a good idea, as the vet can diagnose the cause and can treat her. Best of luck.

Poor Ming! I wouldn't put baby oil on her, that won't help with the itching and will only make her greasy. date on his flea treatment, I can give you one for him. This itching can be caused by fleas, mites, ringworm, or allergies. If she isn't up to date on her flea treatment, I can give you one for her. First, I would give her Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. If she is up to date on her flea treatment, I recommend taking her into the vet for an exam tomorrow. The vet can do blood tests, skin scrapings, and use a Wood's lamp to diagnose allergies, mites, and ringworm. Once the cause of the itching is found, the vet can prescribe the appropriate treatment. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

The cat pulling out fur could have fleas, allergies, skin infection, mites, etc. He should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and best treatment. He may need an antibiotic, anti-histamine, corticosteroid, or other medications. Your other cat may have an upper respiratory infection and/or eye infection. She should also be seen by a vet for treatment as she may need an antibiotic and eye drops. Please have your vet take a look at both of them so treatment can be started.

If Tupelo had a flea infestation recently it's possible she is still healing from the flea bites. There may also be a secondary infection of the skin if she was itching or scratching a lot from the mites and fleas. If the area isn't clearing up, or appears to be worsening, having a vet take a look and take a potential sample of the skin is best. They may recommend antibiotics or a medicated shampoo to help the area heal.

It could be that Claire is suffering from allergies, but this could also be due to fleas, mites, or ringworm. If she isn't up to date on her flea treatment, she will need a spot on treatment such as Advantage or Revolution. You will need to disinfect the environment as well. If she is up to date on her flea treatment, I recommend taking her into the vet for an exam tomorrow. The vet can do blood tests, skin scrapings, and use a Wood's lamp to diagnose allergies, mites, and ringworm. Once the cause of the redness and irriation is found, the vet can prescribe the appropriate treatment. Another cause could be a skin infection, due to bacteria or yeast. While at the vet, they can examine her for this possible cause, and can discuss treatment options with you.

Tuna could have been injured. If you have clippers, trim back the fur in that area. Wash the wound with warm water and antiseptic soap. Keep the wound clean and dry, and monitor it daily. If you see signs of infection (redness, swelling, warmth to the touch, pus), you will need to take her into a vet immediately.

There could be a couple of things causing these scabs such as mites, allergies, ringworm, or fleas. I think Miran should see a vet before Friday. The vet can diagnose what is causing this skin problem, and can treat him. Best of luck.
