A small patch of hair loss on the cat’s neck – what’s going on?
Hair loss on the back of the neck may be bacterial, fungal, or parasitic. If no parasites are seen and deworming is regular, suspect bacteria or fungi; a skin scraping at the hospital tells which. Bacterial is not contagious and improves with antibacterial medicine; fungal (ringworm) needs antifungal spray and vitamin B.
How to tell if this is cat ringworm?

There is a small patch near my cat’s nipple that looks like ringworm, with matted fur and white powder or scabs – what is it?

How can I repair a dog’s damaged hair follicles that won’t regrow fur?
For damaged follicles, feed nutritious foods like fish oil, lecithin, vitamin B, and astaxanthin, and apply a growth-promoting spot treatment locally. Recovery is slow, so be patient, limit sun to avoid UV skin damage, and brush often to boost circulation. Deep damage may never regrow; let it be.
How to deal with too much cat hair at home?
Use a lint roller, brush, and vacuum (vacuum for floors; brush/roller for sofa and bedding). Brush the cat daily to reduce loose fur. Supplement lecithin, vitamin B, and fish oil to strengthen skin and reduce shedding and skin disease.
Dietary taboos for Pomeranians
Pomeranians are prone to skin disease, so avoid high-salt food and supplement vitamin B, fish oil, and lecithin. Small breeds have weak digestion, so no greasy or hard-to-digest food or bones (risk of gut injury or blockage). All dogs must avoid chives, onion, avocado, grape, chocolate, and cherry to prevent poisoning.
