Tigger

[tiggerblue10]

In the last couple of months I noticed that Tigger was over-licking her fur and she now has little bare patches on her lower back and tail. There are also scabs in the patches.

I thought it could have been fleas so I used Frontline Spot on treatment on the back of her neck a couple of weeks ago. The problem is she is still over-licking herself and the scabs keep appearing.

I am going to take her to the vets anyway but does anyone else have this kind of problem with their cat? Could she have an allergy to fleas or something else maybe?

I know 3 dogs like yours that have lost there fur and a little scabby, The vet's said its an allergy with it beeing spring everything shooting and the new grass growth, try piriton tablets, ( Antihistamine ) ring the vet to find out what dose to give depending on size of dog, its perfectly harmless and will help with the itching/scratching, you can also rub germaline/savlon on the scabs but make sure the dog does not like the scab as tigger could end up with a skin infection and may need antibiotics.....Hope this helps
