- Hi folks!
- I have a question for y'all. I talked to my sister on the phone the other
- night, and one of her cats is going bald. It's just thinning, no sign of
- scratching, itching, fleas, or ringworm patches. The fur is just getting
- thinner to the point where she can see the skin easily. From her description
- it sounds like the undercoat is being lost more than the longer coarser hairs.
- I suggested Vitamin E and other sources of oil in the diet. Any other
- suggestions would be very welcome. Is this a symptom of anything dangerous? I
- will be mailing her a hard copy of the FAQ set (Thanks a mega, Cindy Tittle
- Moore!)
- I've set the followup to Poster, if any mail bounces the e-mail in my .sig
- will work.
- Happy thanksgiving everybody!
