My cat went bald under the ears and stopped eating after a bath—what’s wrong?
If a cat did not lose fur or stop eating before a bath but after the bath goes bald under the ears and won't eat, possible causes: 1. stress from a scary bath causing anorexia; 2. the ear area has a scent gland and normally sparser fur, and washing off excess oil and loose fur makes it look bolder—usually no heavy treatment, just clean and add nutrition; 3. environment change or stress causing anorexia. Watch closely; if it persists or shows vomiting, diarrhea, or no eating, see a vet.
