Small bumps on cat's skin

The main causes of small bumps on a cat's skin are allergies, bacterial infections, and flea bites. Allergic reactions can cause local skin redness, red papules, and other symptoms, requiring timely screening of allergens. In addition, bacterial dermatitis is generally considered to be caused by eczema, mainly due to prolonged skin moisture, which requires keeping the skin dry and using antibiotics reasonably. Lastly, flea bites can cause small bumps on a cat's body, requiring timely flea control.

1. Allergy-induced small bumps on cat's skin

Cat allergies can manifest as swollen head and face, cyanosed tongue, cyanosed mucous membranes, and lethargy. If a cat exhibits allergic symptoms, treat it with antihistamine drugs and glucocorticoid drugs. Additionally, remove allergens surrounding the cat and try to keep the cat in a relatively safe environment. If the allergy is severe, with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, inability to stand, cyanosed mucous membranes, and purple tongue, provide emergency oxygen to the cat to prevent hypoxia.

2. Bacterial infection causing small bumps on cat's body

Cat bacterial skin diseases mainly include eczema or superficial pyoderma. Eczema is mainly caused by damp environment which reduces the cat's skin resistance, leading to bacterial infection and the appearance of a small or large number of red papules on the skin surface. Additionally, eczema can also be caused by allergies or other reasons. Superficial pyoderma is mainly caused by staphylococcus or streptococcus infections, and diagnosis requires a skin scraping examination at a pet hospital.

3. Flea infection causing small bumps on body

When cats have fleas, they may exhibit itching, anemia, and crusting. These can be removed through bathing and flea control. Use flea shampoos containing pyrethroids to bath cats, helping them remove fleas from their bodies. After bathing, dry the cat's fur promptly. Meanwhile, use topical flea control products containing non-泼罗尼 or selenium sulfide to remove fleas. After using topical flea control, attach an Elizabeth collar to prevent the cat from licking.

Flea control products usually distribute throughout the cat's body within 6-8 hours, requiring continuous use for 2-3 weeks, once a week, to completely eliminate fleas.
