Hi, My cat luzaa had sneezing few days back, and from 2-3 days he is getting chocking at random (2-3 times a day), could this be something severe?

Hi! A few days back I observed a small bald patch above one eye of my female lab and got her vet consulted. The vet overruled bacterial, fungal or any other infection. But I did observe another one today on one of her arm. This one is small too with no redness. She had itching issues but after the medicine prescribed by the vet it's better now. Any suggestions on what could be the underlying reason for bald patches would be relieving.

Does she itch these areas and created the bald patches???
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Or are u observing them suddenly

I have observed her scratching and biting herself at times but not sure if she did it in these particular areas.
S
Swati Singh
She does scratch herself especially after she wakes up.
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
I feel it can be because self scratching of the pet
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
What medicines did the vet prescribed
S
Swati Singh
Wysolone 10 mg: 3 tablets in total (1 each for 2 days and a half for the 3rd day)
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Any other medication or that's it
Any shampoos
S

No. That's the only medicine prescribed. We use the shampoo 'Himalya, ERINA -EP tick and flea management ' for bathing her.
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Wherever these patches are there try to remove the hair for 1 cm radius and apply povidone iodine solution twice daily and also use mycosan shampoo to bathe her Keep the shampoo for 10 min and then wash

Okay. Will follow this. Is it a concerning condition or is it because of self scratching?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
I feel it can be because of self scratching as ur vet already ruled it out for bacterial and fungal infection
What about demodicosis
Did he rule out that too??
S
Swati Singh
Nothing was mentioned about demodicosis.
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
As the hair loss is near the eye and other parts of body it can be because of demodicosis also
S
Swati Singh
How can we treat that?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
First we have to diagnose is it because of demodicosis or not then only we can start treating it for that
To rule out demodicosis skin scrapping examination has to be done
S
Swati Singh
Okay. Should we go ahead with this examination if any new bald patch is observed?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Better to get it done as early as possible
S
Swati Singh
Okay. Will do.

I don't have one but 3 favourite all time pictures of my baby girl - Bella! Photo 1: She was three weeks old and would fall asleep on my arms instantly Photo 2: 4 months old, got her onto the bed for the first time and she was overjoyed - rubbing herself all over! Photo 3: Her car ride with with her brother (or boyfriend) pups that she had a blast with! She's a warm crazy wild one, my forever baby and pain in the ass altogether. ❤️❤️❤️
