Hello, first time poster here.
My cat, Doc, is a rescue, and we have him guessed at about 8-10 months old. A few weeks ago he had been vomiting (mostly a yellow sludge with some hair), and I took him to the vet. He had a fever, and the vet put him on some antibiotics. Everything was fine for a handful of days, and now he seems to be back to vomiting again, only this time, some of it is obviously partially digested food, and at least one instance was a sort of pinkish foam with hair in it. He has also started losing fur in patches off his chest, neck, and one ear. I believe the neck and one ear may have been from him scratching at a new collar, but I can't imagine why SO much hair is missing, right down to the skin. Also, the little patches appearing convince me something else is wrong. I plan on taking him back to the vet, but thought I'd ask around as well. Thanks for any help you can give.
