I recently moved and she pulled out some of the hair on her lower spine - which is what got me looking at what might be wrong as she has no skin lesions/fleas, etc. She has many of the other symptoms; dilated pupils, loud meowing, some skin rippling, runs around like she's crazy...but she's always done that stuff. Until the recent stress of moving, the rest of the symptoms have never seemed to bother her - she is a happy cat, we play and cuddle often. So my questions are these: 1) once the stress resolves, will she stop with the hair pulling? and 2) is there a need to get a mild case treated? What's the case for medicating her if she is not causing herself harm? Thank for you for the information and a response if you're able!
