Question by “Kh a a a a a n n” ! !: My Cat seems to be experiencing some hair loss around the opening to her ears? Any ideas why?
My 4 year old cat appears quite healthy, but I just noticed that she seems to have a little bit of hair loss around the opening to her ears. Could be from scratching, but I am not sure.
Any ideas why this might be happening?

Question by MechBoy: What are the bald spots behind a feral cats ears?
A feral cat comes to our house quite often and he’s got strange bald spots behind his ears. I can see his skin clearly… there’s not a single strand of hair behind his ears. Looks kind of creepy. I know it’s some kind of disease, but does anyone have any idea kind of disease it is, and whether it is dangerous/communicable?

two things come to mind- one- ear mites. If it has ear mites then it will scratch the fur off since his ears itch.
two- he could have ringworm and it just happened to get spread to those places from him scratching.
Hopefully you can trap him and take him to a vet that handles ferals. Good luck!

I just adopted a female pomeranian, feed her twice a day dry puppy food, her coat is growing normal no signs of hair loss anywhere else on her body, other than the tips of her ears. Really worried, have already taken her to the vet but was told to change diet, but has yet to work!! She weighs a mere 5 pounds!!!! Please if anyone has any HELPFUL suggestions, other that consult a second vet please answer!!!!

I got a pair of girls from a bad situation. The Abyssinian has a penny sized bald spot behind each ear. She doesn’t seem to be itching them or anything. The female that came with doesn’t have them. Is she okay? Any home remedies?

She’s a little over a year and her eating habits haven’t changed at all. She doesn’t have fleas and doesn’t seem to have a rash because she doesn’t scratch any more than a healthy dog would. I’m just concerned it is a little more serious than a few harmless bald spots.
