Sunburn in cats in summer:
Sunburn happens when the skin is damaged by UV radiation from the sun and becomes inflamed. Redness, swelling and pain occur in the affected areas of skin.
Unfortunately, cats can also get sunburnt. Felines with light-coloured and thin fur are particularly at risk. Cats with sensitive skin or skin diseases are also more susceptible to sunburn. The risk is highest in less hairy areas such as the nose, ears and stomach.
Symptoms:
- Reddening of the skin
- Swelling or blistering
- Pain or itching
- Dry or flaky skin
- Changes in behaviour: increased scratching and restlessness
