My cat is 14 years old. She is diabetic and requires an insulin injection daily. During the past few months, her hair is clumping up and eventually falls out or I have to pull it off. There is no sign of fleas, but alot of dandruff. Since she is old she does not groom herself like she use to.
I try to brush her, but the clumps are so massive the brush won't go through them. Some of the places are bald where the clumps have come off.
I know she could possibly have hyperthyroidism in addition to her diabetes. That could be treated with medicine.
Can any one tell me how to groom her. I am afraid if she is bathed and the hair removed, it would never grow back. Plus I don't want to traumatize her and make the condition worse.
HELP PLEASE!
