OK, the cat has been to the vet over the years...how recently? Has the doctor seen the cat for the hair loss? Could be mange, could be mites, could be nerves, could be an allergy to fleas, could be a lot of things. See the vet again.

It could be a digestive problem, cystitis,hypertyhroidism and inflamatory Bowel disease.. If your Vet thinks its an allergy, than change the cats food. Most common food allergies in cats are beef, wheat, milk, cheese, eggs, carrots yeast.. Also Vitamin C acts like a anihistamine(in powder form of sodiyum absorbate powder) 500 mg. daily. There is a lot  of information out there. Overuse of cortisone drugs,supress symtoms and weaken the immune system. I wish you luck and hope his skin condition improves.

My sister took on my moms chuahua years ago .. the dog lost all of her hair.  It was a hormonal imbalance. Now the dogs is blind deaf and toothless at 12 years old. The poor thing needs to be put down. She is cold and terrrified all the time.

Still hoping if somebody out there have or  had the same problem as my cat with hair lose. The vets seem to just guess thats its allergy problem & can't seem to solve it as it keeps coming back. Going to the vet again tomorrow for another jab. But the question is. Could there be another reason for loosing her hair
