Cat with skin baldness revealing white meat

Cat with skin baldness revealing white meat may be caused by malnutrition, allergies, or ringworm. First of all, if it is caused by malnutrition, it is a normal phenomenon and there is generally no need to worry too much. If the local skin is accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, such as itching, redness, and swelling, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to a professional pet hospital for inspection in a timely manner. Then, according to the inspection results, take targeted treatment measures to avoid the disease from worsening.

  1. Malnutrition

If a cat has a long-term picky diet, it will lead to a lack of a large number of nutrients in the body, causing malnutrition. At the same time, it will also affect the normal growth of the hair follicles, causing hair loss, and revealing the white meat of the skin. You can feed the cat some high-nutrition food, such as cat food and cat cans, which can supplement the nutrients and improve the hair loss situation.

  1. Allergies

If a cat eats foods that are easily allergic or comes into contact with allergens, the skin will appear red, swollen, and itchy. Scratching the skin may cause the hair follicles to die, resulting in hair loss and revealing the white meat. It is necessary to give the cat anti-histamine medication under the guidance of a doctor.

  1. Ringworm

It is a fungal infection that causes hair damage and hair loss on the face, trunk, and limbs. Without timely treatment, it may lead to extensive hair loss. The cat needs to take anti-fungal medication according to the doctor's advice to improve the condition.

During the treatment, care should be taken to keep the cat clean and wash frequently. When the disease worsens, it is necessary to take the cat to the pet hospital in a timely manner. With active and effective treatment, the disease can be controlled, and it is beneficial for the cat's recovery.
