Why does a cat scratch constantly causing scabs and loss of hair and is there a home remed?
The cat may have fleas. Check by collecting some scurf from its coat on a piece of white paper. Dampen the scurf slightly, if any of it turns reddish, the cat has fleas. I don't know of a home remedy. Ask in the drugstore or, better still, ask a vet. If it's not fleas the cat might have ringworm. This needs professional treatment. Skin allergy to flea faeces may be the cause of persistent scratching which can result in bleeding and the formation of scabs. A good quality tubed-ointment type flea-killer applied once per month to the nape of the neck has been known to effect an almost overnight cure from this very distressing condition.

How can you kill fleas without hiring an exterminator?
Not really. The most effective way of getting rid of fleas is to use one of those once a month flea medications such as Frontline, Advantage or Advocate. The best, most effective brands can be bought from your vet. These are a once a month flea medication that will prevent fleas & ticks from getting on him or her for a month. You apply it topically. Combing the dog regularly will remove dead or dying fleas, and should be done until no more fleas can be seen. Washing the dog using a flea shampoo for dogs is also another method for helping getting rid of fleas. Never use human shampoo, detergent or any other products with strong chemicals in. They may kill the fleas, but will also irritate the dog's skin and will cause unnecessary discomfort.
