Re: Cat question-does he pull out hair ?       02/18/05 11:04 AM Edit Reply Quote Gail1 Reged: 09/04/03 Posts: 62 Loc: Calgary, AB, Canada Hi Michele, I was wondering if you cat pulls out hair at the base of the tail or in that area? Our Cat Charlie started to do that a couple years ago. I took hhim in to the vet and they told me that there is a gland at the base of the tail and if it gets plugged up they will scratch and bit at the area in an attempt to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling there. They told me to feed Charlie about a tsp or 2 of canned pumpkin a day. I mixed it in with his food a little at a time. I used canned food for this. I slowly built it up to 2tsp a day. It worked really well. Every once in a while I still have to do that. The first time we had to do it for about 3 weeks. The pumpkin has fiber in it and that will help to get the gland unclogged. Hope this helps. Gail Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
