So I'm a bit at my wits end with Athena's health right now. 6 years ago I found her on the side of the road with no hair and yellow scabs all over her. Initial visit said she had some type of allergic dermatitis, gave her a steroid shot, and her hair started to grow back. We've had this problem again about three years ago, and although she was an indoor cat, she somehow got fleas and that caused it. I have since kept her on a flea preventative.
Well the last year her eyes have been watery and she is progressively loosing hair in a stripe down her back. The vet gave her antibacterial drops for her eyes and an antibiotic for her skin. The eye drops made it worse, and her hair didnt grow back. She always has lab work that is 100% fine. (As she is a senior she has it every 6 months)
She is...um...a chonkers though. Is it possible she just isnt cleaning well enough in those spots? We havent changed foods or detergents. I gave her a good wipe down with chlorhexidine before this picture was taken, so it's easier to tell what it looks like(she is long haired and it normally doesnt look like this). Any thoughts, experiences similar?
