My female Persian kitten(50 days old) is shedding a lot of hair suddenly, after her first deworming, is it something to be concerned about?(not sure if this happened due to deworming) She is perfectly normal, she eats well, her digestion is good and she is very active

Dr. Sharmila Rai

Hi Chaitra! If there is no bald patches due to to the hairloss and as you are saying she is otherwise normal, it can be due to the seasonal changes. As cats tend to shed more during summer. But if it continues and gets bald patches or rashes in the body you can schedule a vet visit.

Dr. Sharmila Rai

And do check for any flea or ticks that can also cause hairfall. In that case spot on medication can be used but she have to be 2 month or above for using that.

Thanks doc! I did schedule a vet visit from Kuddle and found out she has a deficiency and hence the hair loss. We are giving her supplements now
