It sounds like your cat is having some skin issues, such as hair loss, scabbing, redness, and itching, especially around the neck and top of the back. These symptoms can stem from various causes, including allergies, parasites like fleas, or even skin infections.
Since your cat is already on a topical flea and tick prevention treatment, fleas are less likely to be the culprit, but it's still a good idea to check for any signs of fleas or flea dirt. Allergies, whether they are environmental or related to food, could also be a factor. Additionally, skin infections, whether bacterial or fungal, might be contributing to these symptoms.
Here are a few steps you can take at home to help your cat:
First, gently inspect your cat's skin by parting the fur to look for any signs of fleas, flea dirt, or other parasites. Also, check for any unusual bumps or lesions. It's important to maintain cleanliness in your cat's environment, so regularly wash their bedding and vacuum areas where your cat spends time to reduce allergens and potential irritants.
Consider if there have been any recent changes in your cat's diet that might coincide with the onset of these symptoms, as food allergies can sometimes manifest as skin issues. Additionally, monitor the affected areas for any changes, whether they improve or worsen.
If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. They can perform a thorough examination and may recommend tests to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
