What's the matter with my cat's bald neck?

**Cat's neck suddenly lost hair, consider whether the skin has a problem, possibly ringworm or parasites. Some cats may also have vaccine reactions after vaccination, and the injected area may become bald. If the cat's neck and body have multiple hair loss spots, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check for fungal infections. Also, the owner should note if they recently put a collar on the cat. Plastic or metal collars can affect hair loss. The owner can feed the cat some egg yolk, salmon, oil, and lactoferrin to enhance the cat's skin resistance. Then slowly care for the cat and go to the hospital for further examination.

Skin diseases

1.1 If your cat's neck is bald and loses hair, it is likely that the cat is infected with fungi. The infected area will be red, bleeding, scabbing, and hair loss, forming circular lesion-like patches. The owner can gently peel off the bald spot on the cat's neck to observe. If there is redness, scabs, and skin peeling, the owner should wear gloves (fungal infections are contagious to humans), clean the bald spot with physiological saline, and spray a skin disinfectant. Wear an Elizabeth collar to prevent the cat from licking. The owner can take the cat to the pet hospital for a skin examination because ringworm may appear in various parts of the body. The doctor can carefully check if there is ringworm in other parts of the cat and identify the type of fungal infection. Targeted medication can help the cat recover faster. Fungi are tenacious and easily breed in damp environments. Once the cat's resistance decreases, it is likely to cause ringworm. Owners must pay attention to cleaning the cat's living environment and disinfecting items the cat has touched.

1.2 Cat parasites can also cause hair loss. External parasites bite the cat's neck, causing hair loss. The owner can peel off the cat's hair loss area to check for parasites and their bites. This situation requires the owner to regularly deworm and prevent parasites to protect the cat's health.

Note: Some cats may experience vaccine reactions after vaccination, with swelling or hair loss at the injection site. The condition can recover on its own after a period of time, and owners do not need to worry too much.
