Miliary dermatitis in cats is a type of skin reaction, usually caused by flea allergies. It’s characterised by areas of small, raised crusts on the skin. It’s usually seen along the back, tail and tummy. It’s also sometimes seen on the face and neck.
Miliary dermatitis can affect cats of all ages. It’s not a life-threatening illness but can lead to severe discomfort and secondary skin infections if not treated appropriately. Once diagnosed and treated, the long-term outlook is usually good, as long as the underlying cause is controlled.
