Pemphigus Foliaceus is an autoimmune skin disorder that affects cats, among other animals. In this condition, the cat’s immune system mistakenly attacks its skin cells, leading to various skin-related symptoms. The impact on the cat’s skin and immune system can significantly affect their overall health and quality of life.
Symptoms
The most common symptoms of Pemphigus Foliaceus in cats include skin lesions, scabs, and hair loss. These symptoms can cause discomfort and distress to your feline friend, affecting their behavior and overall well-being. It’s important to monitor your cat closely and seek veterinary advice if you notice any of these signs.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Diagnosing Pemphigus Foliaceus involves a thorough examination by a veterinarian, including skin biopsies and blood tests. These tests help confirm the presence of the condition and rule out other potential causes of the symptoms.
Treatment for Pemphigus Foliaceus in cats typically involves managing symptoms and suppressing the overactive immune response. This may include the use of corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs. During treatment, it’s crucial to provide your cat with plenty of care and support to help them cope with the condition.

What causes pets to lose their fur?
There are many things that can cause pets to lose their fur. Stress or discomfort can cause over-grooming, adrenal disease like Cushing's, allergies, autoimmune conditions and more. It is important to have your pet checked by your veterinarian if you notice any unusual hair loss.
How can i tell the difference between hair loss and shedding?
Shedding is a normal occurrence for most pets. They shed the dead hairs to make room for new hairs to grow. Shedding will normally not cause any noticeable bald patches on your pet. If you notice patches of skin where fur once was, this is considered hair loss rather than simple shedding.
Can some hair loss ever be good? If I've improved my pets diet can this cause hair loss?
Generally loss of hair to the point of bald patches is the sign of a problem in the body. Some degree of shedding is normal. Generally an improvement in diet will not cause any hair loss. It's always best to speak with your vet if you notice any unusual hair loss.
If I accidently get the Ouch Away spray in my pets eye, can this cause blindness or is this dangerous?
We do recommend that you avoid getting Ouch Away Spray in your pets eyes as it may be temporarily uncomfortable for them. However, it will not cause long term effects. It is a very gentle and safe spray and you should not notice any ill effects aside from tearing or rubbing at the face. If you need to apply Ouch Away near the eyes, we recommend applying it to some gauze or a cotton applicator and wiping it on the area rather than spraying it.

Discomfort and Appetite Support for Cats
Yucca is used in cat food as well as food for other animals around the world. Its root is a highly nutritious herb that’s rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.
How Yucca Supports Cats
Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols) which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on Yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort relief and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca for cats may also be a natural appetite stimulant and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some cats.
