Please have him checked ASAP. This could be anything from dryness to an autoimmune disease like pemphigus. Are his paw pads dry as well?

Don't get upset if you can help it. Let her calm down and see if things start to go back to normal, including if the pemphigus subsides. The fact that she is quiet near you is actually a good sign despite her agitation; if she were running in fear from you it would be worse. I would continue...

In addition to everything else, this appears to have caused a flare of her pemphigus, which is the whole reason we have her indoors in the first place. At the vet yesterday they said she had healed remarkably well, including her ears. Today she is constantly scratching, grooming, pawing at her...

...kind of fungal infection so I made a vet's appointment asap. After looking him over and taking some skin samples, he was diagnosed with Pemphigus, which is an autoimmunity that causes bald spots and itching on his ears, nose, and paws. He was given a steroid shot, oral steroids, and a topical...

Just curious, did they do a biopsy to confirm pemphigus? I read this thread earlier this afternoon, and I can't comment on the Atopica as I have no experience but I'm really wondering why they would vaccinate a cat with autoimmune disease. I have had so many vets send me signed letters...

Thank you--since your comment about gaba backfiring I've been hunting for more info on that, but there seems to be almost no info online about gaba increasing agitation/anxiety. Awaiting a response on that from the vet. Last night the only thing that would get her to stop freaking out was when...

...Exactly like what I'm going through right now, after months and seeing tons of different doctors, a dermatologist said she probably has Pemphigus and started her on atopica (03-2021). She has been fine since then until she received her vaccines in September (her previous vaccines were three...

...I tried reaching out to her dermatologist. She has been on Atopica for the last year and a half for a suspected autoimmune disease (Pemphigus) and he recommended increasing her daily dose. I brought her to a Internal Medicine specialist. They did more blood work, urinalysis, x-rays and...

...I loved him would be an understatement, I honestly feel like he was and is still part of my soul!) He appeared to be a textbook case of pemphigus and/or lupus, and was treated for it and improved greatly in the fall of 2021. By March of 2022, the disease began progressing and despite...

I talked to another vet and he said either cell pododermatitis or pemphigus foliaceus.

Hi there! Another member's cat has been diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder Pemphigus Foliaceus as well as IBS. The diagnosing vet has done extensive tests. Our member is struggling financially so the vet offered to adopt and treat the cat. she worries that maybe her cat should just be...

Hi. Thanks for the update! I can't address anything to do with the pemphigus foliaceus as I have had no experience with that. But I did want to comment on the e-coli in her urine. Feeby was getting repeated UTIs and it was constantly from e-coli. The vet said it is pretty common, and something...

...might have some helpful information for you: Paws symptoms Plasma cell pododermatitis? Paw pad hyperkeratosis? Allergies? Plasma cell pododermatitis OR pemphigus folacious?? I'm glad you're seeing some improvement with treatment. Please keep us updated after his recheck appointment. :alright:

...(again) I think. The bacteria culture test came back positive and it was found she had e.coli. At the same time, she has been battling with pemphigus foliaceus on her front paws (nails and nail bed) for several months now. When we discovered she had pemphigus foliaceus, we were cleaning her...

...her for FELV and FIV (negative on both counts). Bloodwork and vitals were good. The tentative diagnosis is an autoimmune disorder called pemphigus. The treatment is daily steroid medication for the rest of her life. Because she is erratic about visiting us to eat, sometimes skipping a day or...

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. I have not dealt with this in a cat but I do have a loved human person with pemphigus. It’s very painful and frustrating. Have you asked the vet if there is anything you can do to prevent infections in the claw? Is it possible he is getting the litter and...

This is where I was going - look at this article (see link below) and pay particular attention to the area that discusses Pemphigus Foliaceus (PF). It just sounded like your girl. I thought some sort of auto-immune treatment (with anti-inflammatory properties) might be a possible solution - but...

...some progress somehow. Again I don't want to be rude to this other lady who's been doing her best with a difficult and confusing situation (most of the people who've tried to help so far were convinced it was likely pemphigus but I wanted the biopsy to know what we were dealing with for sure)

Glad she’s responding well! My vet also prescribed steroids (Convenia) for my kitty’s pemphigus several years ago.
