My 2 year old cat,angie is prone to over scratching herself to such an extent that she creats bald spots and fresh wounds. she began giving way to this habit last year during the summer months june july to be exact she would scratch her neck area leaving raw wounds.bloody ones,my mother who herself is a doctor suggested that it might be fungal as we have delt with cats of similar problems in the past partcularly ring worm infections.I thought it was best to keep her separate from the other cats so they do not contract the disease as it was contagious,my mother brought home various drugs which i would add into her milk or food,by an amount directed by the dermatologist tht my mother had consulted ,trying the several ones one at a time until one showed positive results.after 3 months of starting this drug *fungone* (flugonazole) she diverted from the habit.In late winter. But now as its almost spring she has relapsed and is now scratching herself relentlessly.i resorted to fungone once again and so far her previous wounds seem to be recovering but she keeps scatching her self therefore creating further bald spots..as of now she has three bald spots slightly clotted and she is also losing lots of hair as are my other 2 as summer is approaching.i wanted to confirm whether it could be some other issue whether it is rather allergic than fungal as weather is changing,i can certainly say it is not her diet,she enjoys dried food,hates all other foods including milk now,she is also a house cat so the chances of her getting fleas are close to none,i suppose
if anyone has any other suggestion as to what might the issue be then please do share. also there are not many well qualified vets in my vicinity to provide a solid diagnosis of her problem. thanks
