Why is my Persian cat losing hair after eating homemade food?

Calcium syrup is not good to give cats, too much calcium causes medical issues. You need to have Oreo seen by a vet to diagnose the cause of her hair loss (i.e. fleas, mites, allergies, ringworm, etc) so she can be treated correctly. As for diet, I'd feed her a high quality cat food. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams.

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!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It looks like Lily has a skin infection. I recommend taking her to a vet for antibiotic’s and something to relieve the itching. It is possible to be from a food allergy or an environmental allergy. This may be the cause of her vomiting as well. You need to speak with a veterinarian about what she eats and the environment she is in. They will then be able to treat her appropriately. Good luck and kisses to Lily!

Properly balancing a home cooked diet for cats is extremely difficult, and is nearly impossible for growing kittens. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning that they require meat as the staple of their diets. They are also require a careful balance of amino acids, particularly taurine, to maintain optimal health. Nutritional deficiencies can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy, abnormal bone growth, or a host of other problems. I strongly recommend exclusively feeding Pelly a commercial kitten food to provide a proper nutritional balance for optimal growth. Royal Canin kitten food is a great option! You do not need to add additional foods or vitamins while feeding commercial diets. If you decide to feed more home cooked foods, try to wait until she is fully grown, and then only do so under the guidance of a board-certified veterinary nutritionist (including the recommendations found on www.balanceit.com). I hope this helps and that all goes well for Pelly!

Hello. I am sorry that Jagu isn't feeling well. If Jagu isn't growing well it could be that he has a condition in his gut or with his metabolic system. I would suggest you bring him to a vet and have bloodwork done to make sure Jagu doesn't have an underlying disease condition. Also deworming Jagu is a good idea as he could have worms making him not grow well. Flea products might be a good idea as well in case that is the cause of the poor hair coat. Good luck with Jagu.

That spot on Lewis could be several things including allergies, skin mites, bacterial infection or ringworm (which humans can get). There are a couple things you can do at home and they can help but they may not address the underlying cause. You can try adding in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for pets, this can help improve the skin health. You may also try changing his diet to something like Royal Canin or Nutro as they are aimed at skin health. Here is a link about ringworm: https://www.petcoach.co/article/ringworm-in-cats/ If the lesion does not start improving within a week or if it is getting worse, have him examined by the veterinarian. Testing for ringworm is easy and you may opt to do that whenever you like. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi there. A couple things could be going on with Lucky. Some cats lose hair due to stress and this is usually self resolving. More commonly cats lose hair due to an allergy. This could be to their food or something in the environment. I would start by having your vet check her and then do a hypoallergenic food trial for 8 weeks. This usually does the trick, but if not your vet can prescribe medications to help with environmental allergies. Best wishes to you and Lucky.
