Thread: Excessive shedding and itching?

I'm wondering if anyone knows of common skin issues in Maine Coons? When we got Pina from the rescue her paperwork indicated that she had had "miliary dermatitis" which had been treated with antibiotics. She had some scabs and thin spots but they quickly healed up and we now have a beautiful fluffy girl.

Now after about a year, I'm noticing the scabs are back and she is shedding in clumps. I groom her daily but she seems to lose enough hair to build another cat!! I've made her an appointment to go see the vet on Friday. I'm just wondering if this is a skin condition that will pop up from time to time of is there something causing it?
