Cats

Cats shed hair, so they often lick themselves to keep themselves clean. Cat hair loss is caused by several reasons, including seasonal hair loss, malnutrition, or skin diseases. If it is normal shedding, the hair on their bodies will fall off and be replaced naturally. This is normal due to seasonal reasons, and owners do not need to worry too much. But if there is a large area of ​​hair loss in a certain part, the owners should be concerned. Maybe their cat has a skin disease. What is the reason for large area hair loss on the ears? Let’s take a look at it with the editor of Boqi.

If there is a lot of hair loss on a cat’s ears, there are generally two possibilities. One is because of ear mites, and the other is probably caused by cat mites. It is recommended that owners quickly go to the hospital for diagnosis after discovering hair loss on their ears. The best way is for doctors to have professional knowledge and prescribe the right medicine.

1. To treat ear mites, you need to clean the cat first and then apply medicine. You can use a cotton swab dipped in baby oil to clean your cat's ears thoroughly and wipe away any dirt. Then drip a certain amount of the treatment liquid into the cat's ear canal. At this time, their head must be stabilized and not allowed to shake casually. If you insist on treating your cat according to this method for about two weeks, you can achieve a good effect in treating ear mites.

　2. To treat ringworm in cats, you can first shave off the hair around the ears, and then scrub the affected area with hot soapy water. The purpose of this is to soften the hard skin. Then wipe it with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to remove the skin flakes and hard scabs in the diseased area, and then you can apply medicine to the cat. You can try to use clotrimazole for external application, and when arranging its diet, pay attention to supplementing more vitamins, which is very helpful for treatment.

Two different situations require appropriate treatment. Once the cat’s ears are cured, the hair will naturally recover slowly.
