Donating YT 10K Club Member | Two possiblities come to mind.... The first is fleas and I don't mean she is really infested. I have a cat who will lose hair and scratch sores...over a single flea. Or...it's possible she has skin mites. The vet can do a skin scraping to determine this. Don't fret too much...

| It sounds a bit like mites. Hopefully just fleas though. A skin scraping shouldn't be too bad if they are careful about not going deep.

| With mites you get into either using Revolution or injecting off-label doses of Ivermectin. It is okay but maybe a bit hard on their bodies.
