My cat i losing hair

Question
Hello Dr.

My cat is just over one year old and she started to lose alot of hair the last weeks, however recently she lost really alot of hair all over her body.
I can just stoke her and she loses alot of hair just by that, this problem is also that when she washes her self she suffer from hair balls ect.

What is you best tips to help her, is there any pills or vaccines that can help her in this case?

Answer
There are many reasons for hair loss in kitties.  There may be a ringworm infection on the skin or there may be some type of allergy causing the hairs to be mechanically removed by the cat.  Depending on the cause, your vet can prescribe medication to help.
