My cat has been itching her coat and dragging her bottom across the carpet.   I haven't seen any worms of any kind. She also has lost four patches of hair on the side of her body and the skin is dry and rough.   What do you think?

Do the patches look like someone rubbed the fur off?

Reply to Terri Riba's Post: Yes, it looks like fur was rubbed off...I believe this could be Ringworm. I just needed some additional input on these symtoms.
