Biellmann asked:
My female cat lucky has scabies. She’s really skinny but she does eat a little, but she has little scabies ALL over her body. Nobody wants to pet her or be by her. Is it contagious? What can I do to help her???? She has scratched them soo much now that all around her neck is bleeding. I don’t know how or why she has it. She’s had it for a little over a month now. Please help!

Did the vet diagnose scabbies? If not, get the cat in for an actual diagnosis. Once the vet knows what it is, they have the medicine to help. You can’t home treat something like this–if you’re assuming it’s one thing and it actually is another, you do the cat no good.
It could be fleas, mange, food allergies, environmental/chemical allergies, any of a number of things. Just get her in to the vet this week and get her the help she needs. Before more than her neck is bleeding.

Feline scabis is an uncommon skin ailment caused by the head mite Notoedres cate. The first sign is intense itching about the head and neck along with hair loss and the appearance of bald spots. Treatment: clip scabies affected areas on long haired cats and bathe the entire animal in warm water and soap to loosen crusts. Kittens may be dippen or shampooed but must be dried quickly to prevent chilling. Kill the head mites by dipping the cat in a 2.5 percent lime sulfur weekly. Continue for two weeks beyond cure.
