We have a sphinx cat and he has had allergy’s for a while. We’ve been to the vets numerous times and eventually had blood tests done. The main cause of his infection in Candida albicans. We have been prescribed shampoo and a foam to put on daily but it seems the infection isnt going. Any advice

Candida is a very common skin inhabitant, and you may not be able to clear it from his skin. If the allergies aren't getting better, be may need allergy injections or treatments - it would be best to follow up with your veterinarian and let them know that things aren't resolving. They'll be able to determine the next best step for Merlin.

I have a female tuxedo cat, 3 years old. The other day I gave her a bath, and since then she hardly eats, I don't see much number 2 in her box, and there's a fair amount of clear discharge from her vagina that wetens her tail and upper legs, she seems to be in pain, and growls about it, and my wife believes she has a yeast infection. What should I do?

Thank you for your email. Vaginal discharge is never a normal thing for cats, and could indicate a bladder or uterine infection. These infections can quickly become life threatening, and it would be best to have her seen as soon as possible.

Why do cat drool? How to treat? It’s nose and mouth are wet all day long Few days ago, I have brought him to vet and the vet just gave me medication to treat fungus, itchy skin and vitamin c

Drooling or excessive salivation may be caused by a variety of different causes including infections, foreign objects in the mouth, dental disorders, salivary gland disorders, oral irritation, poisoning, pharyngeal disorders among other causes; a thorough examination of the mouth is needed along with another examination to determine the underlying causes, it is difficult to say without examining Princess.

My 5 year old cat has always had areas on her body that are missing hair. I sleep with her in my bed and she has her pillow right next to me,lined up next to my chest. She cuddles with me, with her head and front paws resting in my hands Her bottom is snuggled up in the pit of my arm, or next to my chest so it is always being kept warm. I have been noticing an odd odor. She is very meticulously cleaning her body. Could she have a yeast infection from keeping her bottom too warm?

There are many causes for hair loss and different odours, without seeing Peek-A-Boo I cannot say what the specific cause is; but keeping an area warm shouldn’t cause an overgrowth of yeast in a healthy cat. The smell may be originating from her vagina, anus or indeed may be related to the skin; I would give her a good bath with a medicated shampoo and look for any improvement in smell, if there is no improvement then the smell is originating from somewhere else and you should visit your Veterinarian.
