FIV CAT _ GROOMING A LOT !!
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2017 10:23 pm
Hi all,
I am new and my partner and I recently adopted an FIV cat from a shelter. He has been with us two weeks now. He is 6 and a half years old Australian domestic short hair cross breed.
I have noticed lately that he has been grooming a lot. Today He took some of his hair out and now have a little patch near the belly. Not too big but a pea sized. I checked for fleas and found nothing. I am worried that because of his immune deficiency he might have picked up something. I was wondering would that be potential skin infection problems or just behavioral problems as he is in new environment ( our home) now.
Has anyone ever come across any skin related issues? I am so worried sick
Many thanks
