What is the clear liquid from skin scabs?
The clear liquid that sometimes oozes from skin scabs is primarily a combination of serum, which is the liquid part of blood, and lymph fluid.

It's a normal part of the body's repair mechanism, signaling that the skin is recovering.

Chickens can develop scabs for several reasons. Picking by other members of the flock can draw blood which scabs over, if this is the case you will notice some moderate loss of feathers.

A good dusting with commercial mite control once or twice per year will remedy this problem.
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.
Can Short Haired Dogs Get Fleas?
Fleas can indeed infest short-haired dogs. Fleas can live on dogs of any hair length or hair color. They can also infest many other types of animals, including cats, ferrets, rabbits, and rodents. Fleas are external parasites that bite and feed on the blood of animals. They are also capable of biting and feeding off of the blood of people. These parasites are problematic because they can cause a variety of illnesses for both animals and people. Many animals are allergic to fleas and the resulting skin disease can be painful for them. In addition, fleas can cause localized areas of hair loss, inflammation and scabs known as "hot spots". Tapeworms can be carried by fleas and passed to animals that become infested with fleas. Fleas also play a pivotal role in the transmission of diseases such as plague and cat scratch disease.
