What can you do about irritated hair follicles?

What's wrong with my cat? Hair Loss around one eye?

• My cat has been losing her hair around one eye, and I'm very curious to what it is. I googled it and looks like to me it might be mites that are in her hair follicles. I heard it's rare in cats. Should I take her to the vet and get it checked up? She doesn't seem to itch it but i can tell that it's irritated because she doesn't blink her eye normally. When i looked at it at first i thought she got in a fight. So is it mites? and Should i got to the Vet to get it checked up? And lastly, is it life threatening?

• Answer:

  Well a vet can tell you whether it's life threatening, contagious, painful, life hindering, etc. I think regardless of what anyone writes on here you should take the cat in. If it concerns you then it probably is concerning the cat even more and if it's not blinking normally then that's enough to say there's some irritation. Best get a quick check up then to lose your feline friend..
