Loss of hair on her butt??

My cat has VERY thin and wiry hair right above her tail. She has a full, beautiful coat on the rest of her...why that one spot? She's not scratching it...it doesn't look irritated and she's not bothered by it at all.Loss of hair on her butt??
very possible that she licked that spot aggresively to get rid of her winter coat. Had a very similar experience with a cat. But it should grow back. good luck with herLoss of hair on her butt??
I run a supplement store.A lot of customers complain of raw bottoms on there pets.It could be due to a number of reasons such as mites ,poor circulation..........ect. Cod liver oil, and flax seed oil are ingredients that a lot of pet owners give to there animals to improve skin lubrication and circulation.Talk with your vet to see if these supplements would benefit your pet.
Is she licking it? If so, it's probably allergy - a food allergy.





I can't see it so I can't tell you if it looks like an allergy. Take her to your vet? If it's allergy you will have to probably start by changing her food, and see if that works - the vet will tell you what to switch to.





Do not ever use Dial soap on your pet!!! It is a harsh soap that will dry out the skin. The cod-liver and flax suggestion is a good one, if it's just dry skin. Also vitamin E oil works well.
thta is pretty much normal mabe she got in a fight and lost a patch of hair
Hair loss at the base of the tail is almost always due to a flea infestation, minor or major. If is is a darker colored cat it is sometimes hard to spot flea droppings (little black flecs) or fleas. You can notice the hairloss before the varmin at times. That is just the favorite hang out and breeding ground for fleas.
i never had a cat.........
She could have been bitten by a flea on that area. Many cats are allergic to flea bites and they lose fur around the area of the bite, partly from relieving the itch and partly from the allergen itself. Even if there are no obvious signs of fleas on the cat does not mean she couldn't have been bitten by fleas. Fleas jump on and off their host animal. As a first step, treat kitty and home against fleas. Oh, don't get those over-the-counter flea meds - some cats have adverse reactions to them, so don't take chances. Instead, get a good flea med from your vet. If it is indeed fleas that caused the bald spot, then after treatment, the fur should gradually grow back. Another cause for blad spots is food allergy, commonly from foods containg grains like wheat, soy and corn.
Could be dry skin. Apply Dial soap to the area. I would suggest taking a photo of the affected area. Treat it with the soap for a week or two then take another pic and compare them for improvement. I don't know why but it has to be Dial.
