A person needs positive emotions. Someone gets a drive from skydiving, someone needs to touch creativity, and for someone it is important to communicate with a small fluffy lump. But the joy of the warmth that the kitten gives to its owners can be overshadowed by problems with the coat.
Why does a pet shed?
It is worth starting with the fact that the molting process is a natural physiological manifestation in the life of a pet. Almost all cat breeds are susceptible to seasonal molting. Pets can shed at any time of the year; other felines only change their hair in the spring.
How to deal with a kitten shedding?
In fact, it is not worth fighting with a cat's molt, since you can lose in an unequal struggle with the animal's body. Molting is not always caused by natural processes.
The easiest way to try to prevent molting is by paying attention to your pet.
The living conditions of your kitten are very important. The air in the room should never be dry. The diet should be thought out in advance, it is advisable not to do it yourself, but to consult a veterinarian.
Insufficient content of omega-3, omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals in the feed can lead to frequent hair loss.
If the food is balanced, but the kitten continues to shed, you should pay attention to the state of the endocrine system of your pet. Problems with the thyroid gland, hormonal changes and disruption of the gonads can lead to the fact that all the nutrients will not be absorbed. In this case, you need to contact your veterinarian.
Various diseases are one of the possible causes of hair loss. It can be lichen, skin parasites, allergic dermatitis and other diseases.
Stress from trauma, travel, loud noises and emotional overload on a small animal can trigger molting.
The kitten should be combed frequently during molting. This will prevent the formation of tangles that bring inconvenience to the animal. If you do not care for the wool properly, then the mats can then only be cut with scissors. To care for a small pet's fur coat, use special metal combs, glove brushes and grooming loops.
It is also very important to care for the coat immediately after the shedding period. For this purpose, manufacturers offer special air conditioners. Products are divided into two types of use - use while bathing and use outside of water procedures.
