My cat was a beautiful healthy, furry cat, with a tail like a fox. he will turn 8 yrs old in july. since I moved to this house he loves to go outside, check our surroundings. i have noticed about three weeks ago that he was loosing hair, licking like he usually does when bathes himself and leaving a lot of hair on the floor. i thought it was the tuna fish (a very good and expensive can that i buy for myself),after finding out that instead water was in oil. MY friend told me to give him half benadril one day and the other half on the following day. I was afraid and waited to see if my cat would feel better.he never stop eating or drinking water, but lost weight, and a lot of his beautiful hair. I dont let him stay inside anymore bcse of his hair, i am allergic and I am afraid my dog catches it, in case he is sick. i didnt have money to take him to the vet. he sleeps, jumps around, eats well as i said, but I dont like the litle black spots around his mouth...can you help me out?
