My pet has spreading skin rash. What's causing it and how to treat?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

What skin issue could this be? Any home remedies or anything i can do to help get him back to normal? It started with just couple little spots and now has grown worse and is all over his body.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your Smokey. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian as I am worried that his skin is infected. He may need an antibiotic to help him heal. Home remedies are not likely going to help if the lesions are widespread. I hope this information helps!
