What should I do if my cat's hair doesn't grow back half a year after shaving?

*Cat's hair not growing back half a year after shaving may be due to malnutrition, damaged hair follicles, or skin diseases. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

  1. Malnutrition: Cat's hair needs plenty of nutrients during its growth process. If the cat lacks these nutrients, hair growth will be slowed down. Adjust your cat's diet to ensure balanced nutrition. You can also supplement your cat with lecithin, which promotes healthy hair growth.

  2. Damaged hair follicles: Cat's skin is very sensitive. If the temperature of the shaver is not controlled properly during the shaving process, it can damage the hair follicles on the cat's skin, causing the hair to stop growing. If the shaver has been used on multiple animals before being used on the cat, it may cause skin allergies and lead to hair not growing back. In this case, consult a veterinarian for medication.

  3. Skin diseases: After shaving the cat's hair, its skin is exposed to dust and bacteria, which can easily lead to skin diseases and hinder hair growth. Symptoms may include itchy, red skin, scales, and crusts. If your cat shows these symptoms, take it to the vet immediately for diagnosis and treatment.

In conclusion, if your cat's hair doesn't grow back half a year after shaving, consider the above possibilities and take appropriate action. Consult a veterinarian if necessary.
