Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 10.2 lbs

Cat is 18 months old has hair loss at back neck area. He is also vomiting each dsy. This has been going on for 3 weeks. I wash bowls out each day and change water each day. He has good appetite and sleeps good and always has his tail up so he is happy. Wish I knew how to get him 100% well.??

Dash eeds to see the veterinarian. Vomiting for three weeks is a sign that some pathology is taking place in his body. Just like humans, pets can vomit for many different reasons. Take in a stool sample for his veterinarian to check for worms and bacterial overgrowth. The doctor may also recommend bloodwork or other diagnostics to look for the cause of the vomiting. Hairloss can be due to many causes and the most common is fleas, allergies or ringworm(which humans can get). The doctor can examine this as well and you can check him for fleas at home. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
