My cat has hair loss, bald spots, and white stool. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

My cat (about six or seven months) has recently been losing a lot of hair and has a bald patch on her thigh. Her stools also contain white and have been like that for a while. What could be the potential causes and should I rush her into the vet?

One of the common causes of hair loss could be fleas and flea allergy , with secondary works infestation that would cause the feaces to be white. I would not rush her to the vets if they are closed but definitely have her checked over as soon as they are open.
