THE GRAND INQUISIDOR User ID: 76826513 United States 08/14/2018 02:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My Cat Sammy is 5 now he is a Black and Grey Tabby he is male and big and kind of on the overweight side... Quoting: christian Totally indoor cat On his back down by his hind legs his fur is very matted almost like he has dandruff and it sticks off of him like clumpy..I have cut some of those clumps off myself but their is quite a bit on that section of his back, he is tender there when I touch those clumps.. Any advice? or do you think he needs to see Kitty Vet? Your Cat is too fat and does not want to stretch to lick to get the tangle and clumps out in the furthest area from it's face..

If you see any sores then definitely take him to a vet. Try to brush that area once or twice a day after that to keep him from getting anymore mats or tangles. It happens and is usually not a big deal if you get to it pretty quickly., but the mats hurt so try and prevent them if you can. If left untreated it can turn into infected sores. |

It can be used on all mammals and I've even used it on my neighbors spider bite. Mine is packed up now ( I'm moving) so I can give you the name. I swear by that stuff. We've saved many vet bills by using this stuff. It has a picture of a horse head on the bottle and it cost about 30 bucks. vetercin I think it's called.

christian (OP) Suited up and Armored in Christ! User ID: 76808556 United States 08/14/2018 03:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They're cysts. My friend had a cat that was severely overweight, and he had clumps like that on his back. All the vet can do is drain them. Does your cat go outside? Quoting: SureThingBuddy No he never goes outside. We have a Condo enclosure so he walks outside into the enclosure from the den window but he cannot get out of it to roam anywhere..Just in the condo You mean drain the clumps? I can cut the clumps off but I cannot get close to his skin orherwise it hurts him.

Petpeeve User ID: 12200702 United States 08/14/2018 04:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Kitty may be avoiding grooming those areas because of a medical problem. I think you should bring him to the vet. It's always a good idea to have a complete exam once in awhile anyway. Most vets are in it because they love animals.

Éireann User ID: 73050092 Ireland 08/14/2018 04:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Vet can assess what it is that is causing the fur to matte up like that and teach you to care for it properly. I'd hate for it to be a skin condition or an underlying infection and then tell you some home remedy to try while the cat is suffering. Eireann~ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20 |

It's a cheap and effective way to rid worms and fleas. My cat is doing amazing with it. His fur is fluffy again, and he has stopped vomiting. Perhaps do some research and see if it will work for your situation? |
