My cat have scabs that look resembling dried up blood i involve answers please?
My cat has scab like sores on her body, right now there's nearly 3 maybe 4. There about little bigger than a dime. Sometimes they look like a scab which possibly dried up blood. And one time there wasn't a scab it was just her out skin. There was no hair and it was bloody, not similar to dripping but you can definitely see blood, like she may have scratched past its sell-by date the scab ( dried up blood). Please help. Please know what your talking about whether "take her to vet" is all your gonna say i already know that. i am a student living on my own and struggling near money, so i want to know what exactly im getting myself into before i go cynical in my bank account.
Thank you.
Answers: How matured is your cat? Is it outdoor or indoor?
I had something similar with a dog, where patch of skin was coming off and taking most of her hair near it. It was actually a form of worms.
The money=vet thing. I'm certain the vet will work out a payment plan, but a better thing would be if your academy has a vet or a vet tech program. They'll probably have a look for free to cheap. If not your school, hopefully a neighbouring school.
There's always also the option of calling a vet and dictum something like, I don't have any money but my cat is experiencing these symptoms...do you think I entail to bring him in? Vets aren't greedy, they will usually tell you precisely what they think. I've done this a couple of times and only had to bring my cat surrounded by once.
Good luck.
I just read your additional details and now I can manufacture a definite educated guess.
One of the cats has not have its shots. Your cat has picked something up from another one. Sorry, this is a DEFINITE vet issue.
I'm a university student living on my own, on student loans, with three cats. If ANY of them had even one scab anything approaching what you're describing they'd be at the vet before you could count to three.
Your cat is bleeding from dime sized scabs on her body, they could be caused by fleas, worms, if you allow her to free roam external she could be getting into fights, attacked etc..
I know what its like to be struggling with money, I do it everyday, but animals are not a right they are a RESPONSIBILITY and your cat requests to see a vet.
Many vets will work out a payment plan for those who can't pay for the bill surrounded by full, or you could go to a shelter and they might be able to help you within.
Do the right thing and if you really can't afford the vet, please sign her over to a no-kill shelter so that someone better equipped can adopt her and give her the proper caution that she deserves.
Good luck
and Blessings
ADD: Perhaps she's been getting in fights near the other cat, or she could have picked up fleas from the other cat as it goes outside. She also could hold picked up worms from the other cat. It's hard to say exactly what it is, but it is expected that its fleas and she's scratching so hard she's breaking skin. Flea prevention won't cost you a fortune, and I'm sure the vet will work out a pay plan with you if need be.
