Hair loss in cats can have numerous causes. You should check out your cat's thyroid to make sure it is functioning properly. This is particulary important in older cats. Your vet can carry out thyroid function tests to answer this question for you. Your cat may also have ringworm which your vet can treat. Is your cat scratching around the bald area? Maybe he has an allergy. Talk to your vet about your cat's symptoms and they can best advise you on how to deal with the problem.
A thyroidectomy removes the thyroid gland from the neck of the cat and takes away the cat's ability to make thyroid hormone (responsible for controlling basal metabolism) away. If the thyroid was removed due to a benign tumor and the cat is well managed on replacement thyroid hormone, it is reasonable to expect the cat to live a normal life span of 15-18 years. If the thyroid was removed due to a malignant tumor, the cat's life span may be dramatically reduced depending on the aggressiveness and distribution of the metastases.
Hyperdensity in a cat scan of the thyroid indicates calcifications, hemorrhage, or colloid. The thyroid gland is one of the largest endocrine glands and consists of two connected lobes.
Yes, If the cats are older. A male cat has a broad face.
She can have as many kittens as she wants. It would be better to stop breeding her at an older age because the older the cat is when it has kittens, the more problems could occur.
There are several reasons why an older cat may be hiding and not eating. It could be due to stress, illness, dental problems, or changes in their environment. It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
You can't tell if they will be fluffy or not. As the kitten gets older it will get easier to tell if the kitten is longhaired or shorthaired, but in very young kittens it is very difficult to tell.
Yes and no if the older cat has been treated for worms it would not happen but if older cat had not been treated yes it will Hope this help
Have a veterinarian check it's liver and thyroid. The cat may just have allergies to the food you give it.
