Cat Dandruff: Causes and Treatment
Dandruff in cats is usually caused by external parasites such as fleas or lice, or by allergic reactions to pollen and dust. Mild flakes with no other symptoms are normal, but heavy flaking with rashes or hair loss calls for parasiticides and medicated skin care. Regular deworming and a healthy skin barrier are the best defense.

How to Tell If Your Cat Has Ear Mites
Ear mites cause intense itching, brown flaky earwax, foul odor, and head-shaking in cats. Confirm by checking the ears, then clean with an ear solution, apply miticide drops, and deworm the whole body. Regular checks and a clean, sunny environment prevent recurrence.

What to Do When Your Cat Vomits at Night

Red crust on cat’s back neck – cause? What medicine?
Red crusts suggest trauma, fungal/bacterial infection, or parasites. If scratch marks and black dots, suspect flea dermatitis - do topical deworm and environ disinfect, iodine on spot, prevent scratching; if no improvement, vet skin test.
My cat had blood in the stool once with a dangling drop, now only clear fluid at the anus
Soft stool with blood may come from internal parasites, panleukopenia, indigestion, or damaged gut lining. If the cat is alert and eating, serious panleukopenia is unlikely; messy or changed food suggests indigestion - try short fasting plus probiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine. If not dewormed recently, get a fecal exam for coccidia, roundworms, or giardia.
At noon today I used abamectin for my cat’s topical deworming, applying two drops on the back of the neck. The cat then lay down; I wiped it with a wet tissue and it regained some energy, but slept most of the afternoon and has barely eaten since.
Abamectin is quite irritating and can cause reactions in cats. Give water to boost metabolism and watch 1-2 days. If vomiting, drooling, or seizures appear, it may be overdose or ingestion poisoning needing vet care. Use an E-collar and discard packaging.
