my kitten is losing hair around his neck nad look like it spreading alittle past the neck to his back alittle. I know he has fleas i mean alot of fleas but that wouldnt cause a cat to lose hair would it?

Answers:

Yes, fleas can cause hair loss. Get some Frontline or Advantage from the vet.

Also, flea collars, in addition to being pointless, cause hairloss.

Ringworm and other fungi can cause hair loss.

You need a vet.


is it the flee collar or maybe rin worm.
could also be signs of mange.

I would take kitty to the vet just in case


Allergy to the food you are feeding him! This happened to my kitten when I started her on solid food, change foods and see if that helps. She may be allergic to wheat, a good majority are.
yup.fleas can cause hair loss
flea collars are no good!! they can be very dangerous to a cat. they can hang them selfs with one. it needs to be treated by a vet using something like frontline or what they suggest. it will only get worse if not treated.
1. Fleas can cause hairloss.

2. You should have bought a flea collar for it when you bought it.

3. Go to the vet and ask for flea and worm tablets, that way, you can try get rid of the fleas as well as trying to prevent worms.


do you have a flea collar on him ? if so you need to get it off of him , most collars and sprays are for kittems 12 weeks or older . make sure that the skin is not broken around the area , if so clean it up then put a thin coat of neosporin to help heal. there is an all natural spray that can be used on kittens that young its called natures chemistry , should be able to find it at your local pet store
Yes, some cats are allergic to flea bites. I had to take my oldest cat to the vet because her fur was falling out it patches. Turns out she had fleas!! My kitties are indoor cats so I have no idea where the fleas came from. Everyone got advantage flea drops and I had to spray/ vacuum everything everywhere!
