Cat with bumps and hair lost

Question
My nephews cat has small bumps all over his body with hair loss around his tail and back end. The bumps seem to have scabs in the centers of them but no apparent drainage. He is also very uncomfortable and not wanting to be touched. No notice of repeated scratching.

Answer
This cat could have a case of miliary eczema which is caused by a reaction to a flea allergy.

One flea is all that it takes to set it off. It is also known as scabby cat, or FAD, flea allergy dermatitis.

Your vet can tell you what it is and giver him some medication to help clear these up.
