First we tried antibiotics and predisone. Now we are on the Frontline drops for fleas. Where I put the drops, he is becoming bald. He scratches, and I think he is pulling out his fur. He has been to the doctor now 2 times. The last visit we decided could be fleas.

He is a very sweet cat and I am worried. I guess I really babied him when he was little. Jesse has lived with me now since he was 5 weeks old.

I am worried about his baldness. He always had long thick fur, now in the sun you can see bald spots all over. Please help us.

Thanks

If you can, I suggest taking your cat to a cat allergist, such as might be at a Veterinary College.

If this is impossible for you, then all you can do is try a good, mild diet. The vets sell good diets that don't cause allergies. Also, you need to make sure Jesse James is not coming into contact with anything that might make him itch. This could be fleas, or the flea medicine, or shampoos if you bath him.

I have heard that tuna can cause this problem, so I suggest giving him a no treats that contain tuna.

I am sorry I have no quick answer for you. Just remember that it is probably allergies in his diet or in what he touches, and try to give him a mild diet from the vet, and to get him to an animal allergist if you can.
