Help! My cat’s collision and rough!
“Dear Dr. Paula,
Gul Dawoodi is a 4 -year -old, an indoor cat and never goes out, he weights a little but not obesity. There are some collisions on his back near the back of his back, which is like a pumps with itching and has begun to dry. It doesn’t look like she’s itching, but I can see that she disturbs something because I have looked at her to the area and moves like it. I think this is a food problem but I don’t know. She only eats dry food but good quality, blue buffalo, IAM, etc. Will there be a supplement in order? What can she lose? – William
Hello William! There may be many causes of guldi collision, itching and dryness near the tail base. Fiso allergy is a common problem, even for indoor cats, because the flea can find a way inside. If he is not on the flea preventing, I will recommend talking to your doctor.
His diet can also play a role. Only dry diets can have hydration and omega -3 fatty acids, which are important for skin health. Your doctor may recommend adding a cat -protected omega -3 fish oil supplement and adding moisture, the appropriate food from species can help improve its skin and coat. It is better that you examine your doctors to reject allergies, infections or other issues. You are doing great with full attention to its symbols!
Good wishes!

Help! My cat’s skin is thin!
“Dear Dr. Paula,
We have been taking care of the Ferrell Cat (Oscar) for many years. She has been friendly with us only since last year. We saw thin areas on his skin, mostly in the sides of the spinal cord. We thought it was rubbing at the footsteps of brick. We have seen using our teeth to pull the skin after preparing the area. We do not think that there is a fungus or particles that are due to it because when the skin goes out, it does not bother the area. Can he have trouble? If he has this, what can be done about it? Thank you ” – Cosi
Hi Sosi, it is heartbreaking to hear how much you care for the Oscar. Ferrals are wild beings and often do not befriend humans, congratulate him on winning. It is likely that you will be the only of our species who did not learn to run away. Congratulations on your patience and perseverance.
The stress you have seen and stretching may be related to stress, but it is important that other reasons, such as allergies, skin irritation, or basic problems, must be rejected. Cats often increase as a way to cope with discomfort, whether physical or emotional.
If anxiety is the cause, environmental factors such as permanent routine, safe places, and calm ferromon drives (eg, the phylway) that you have to keep as a collar can help, even though it is likely to be kept and monitored It would be a challenge. I am assuming that you are feeding it so that it can also support the health of the skin while making sure it is on a high quality diet with Omega -3 fatty acids. The doctor’s visit will be key to rejecting other medical concerns and finding options such as supplements or anxiety medication as needed. However, it will include a transport box. Taking care of your attention is creating a real difference for her!
Sincerely,
Dr. Pola
Help! My pussy is constipation!
“Dear Dr. Paula,
My (senior) cat mesu is constipated from time to time, and I give it a small amount of malarics. Yes, I know about the Lex-A tone, but it has nothing to do with it-whether I put it on its claws or get it to her food. My question is, how much do I give it? He is 19 years old and does not weigh more. Thank you “
– Wiki
Congratulations on incredible care you gave me Meshu! At the age of 19, it has surpassed the cat’s average age, which really reflects your dedication and love.
Senior cats are the result of constipation, such as mesho, often dehydration, arthritis, which makes it difficult to currency, or slows down the digestive system age. Think about his gastrointestinal tract, like an old car engine, keeps things easily running. It needs a little extra care and right “fuel”. Although mylax is commonly used for constipation in cats, I cannot safely recommend any dose, as we do not have a direct doctor’s relationship. A veterinarian who knows his health history is the best person to determine the safest and efficient approach, and with senior cats, this prepared care is especially important.
In the meantime, the takes of your digestive tract are the steps taken to you. Hydration is key, such as keeping oil in this engine. Try to offer multiple water stations, add low sodium broth to its diet, or focus on wet eating to increase the amount of water. Introducing small amounts of simple canned pumpkin (without adding) is equivalent to helping to add fiber to its system, transmitting things more efficiently. Be sure to introduce any changes slowly to avoid disturbing his stomach.
You’re doing an incredible job, and Mesha is very fortunate that you have fought its health and happiness in its golden years!
