    GlossaryFeline Paraneoplastic Alopecia

    condition in cats causing hair loss due to underlying cancer

    Feline Paraneoplastic Alopecia is a condition in cats where they lose hair due to an underlying cancer, often of the pancreas or liver. This type of hair loss is not caused by the cancer itself but by the body's reaction to the tumor, and it can serve as an important clinical sign for veterinarians to investigate further for potential malignancies.
