What is this? Ringworm? It should not be hair loss from the flea medicine, right?
Smooth hair loss is not necessarily ringworm; it may be trauma, skin disease, or drug irritation damaging follicles. Severe trauma or fungal or bacterial infection harms follicles.

I just bought a cat yesterday; the seller said she’s healthy, but this one-year-old female is all skin and bones on her back yet has a large belly that bulges to both sides, and she retches occasionally. She drank a lot of water after arriving home last night. What could be the cause?
A swollen belly in a cat can have several causes: ascites - fluid buildup from low protein (liver-related) or feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), where the main signs are a thin back, a distended fluid-filled belly, along with lethargy, poor appetite, and breathing difficulty, requiring prompt veterinary examination; or pregnancy - if the unspayed female mated at the seller's, she may well be pregnant.
