    TLDR Ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate effectively treated the cat's conditions, and restricting activity prevents reinfection.
    A three-month-old male cat with symptoms of frequent scratching, scabs, diarrhea, and an enlarged stomach was diagnosed with ankylostomyosis and scabiosis caused by Ancylostoma sp. and Sarcoptes scabiei, respectively. Treatment included ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate, along with supportive therapies such as B-complex, sulfur shampoo baths, and antihistamines. After three weeks, the cat showed significant improvement with no mites or worm eggs detected, normal blood tests, and resolution of symptoms including hair regrowth and normal feces. The study concludes that ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate are effective treatments for these conditions, and recommends restricting cats' activity to prevent contact with infected animals.

      A user is trying to reverse male pattern baldness (MPB) naturally by taking high doses of Vitamin D, improving diet, exercising, reducing stress, and other lifestyle changes, but plans to use finasteride if no results are seen in 60 days. Other users are skeptical, advising medical treatments like finasteride and warning against potential vitamin D overdose and the ineffectiveness of natural remedies for genetic hair loss.
