If your cat has black particles, it may be that they have ringworm or that they have cat distemper. It is best to take them to the veterinarian immediately for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
The cat has black particles, which may be infected by parasites, such as fleas, mites, etc. The black particles may be parasite feces. Secondly, it may be that the cat has not taken a bath for a long time and has a lot of external dust-like substances on its hair. In addition, when a cat is infected with folliculitis, black particles will also appear on the tail, chin and other parts. In this regard, it is recommended that the owner take one of the black particles and put it in water. If it turns red, it means that there are fleas on the cat and it needs to be dewormed in time. If there is no change, it may be that the cat has dirty things or has folliculitis, and the cat needs to be cleaned up.
1. Parasite infection
When a cat is infected with ectoparasites such as fleas, the parasite will excrete feces in the cat's hair and skin, resulting in black particles, which will also cause the cat's hair to become rough and vague. In this regard, the owner can take one of the black particles and put it in water. If it is red, it means it is a flea. At this time, you need to perform external deworming on the cat in time.
2. Dirt
If the cat has not taken a bath for a long time, dirt will be formed when the dust in the environment and oil on the skin surface are mixed. This situation is not a big problem. You just need to help the cat clean the excess foreign objects on its hair in time. At the same time, the owner also needs to pay attention to bathing the cat regularly.
3. Folliculitis
When a cat suffers from folliculitis, the skin on the tail and chin will become dark, and black cinders will be produced, and the hair will be easily broken and will lose hair. At the same time, symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching will appear in the affected area. If the cat has the above symptoms, it is likely that it is folliculitis. It is recommended that the owner use a cotton swab to clean the cat's chin, and at the same time feed the cat anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent inflammation. The cat should also be fed some foods with less oil content.
