Tosca

Dreadful flea allergy

A few weeks ago a lovely cat named Tosca came into our care. At a glance you would have thought that she was elderly but in fact she turned out to be only a few years old. The poor girl had a horrendous flea allergy which obviously caused her much discomfort. She was seen by our vet and prescribed medication and of course lots of TLC! 

After a few weeks she is started to look a lot better. We are brushing her daily with a soft brush to stimulate the re-growth of her lost hair around her tail. Due to the extent of her flea allergy she had quite bad alopecia and lots of scabs and rough areas of skin. 

She is having Viacutan Plus capsules on her food daily. Viacutan Plus capsules are an essential fatty acid feed supplement with natural antioxidants for dogs and cats. Viacutan Plus improves the condition of the coat and skin as well as reducing problems such as dry skin, dry coat, hair loss, itching and scratching.

This really does go to show how important it is to use flea treatment on your cat. For effective flea removal treatments should be purchased at your vets.

Tosca is so friendly that we couldn't get her to stay still long enough for a decent photograph so these ones will have to do! We will try our luck again in the next few weeks.
