My cat got a cortisone and vitamin b-complex shot, along with cortisone pills to take for 8-9 weeks while her body was getting accustomed to the new food, you really need to find another vet who's willing to help you with trying out a limited diet. Make sure the food has only hydrolyzed proteins...

I went through something similar with my cat when I adopted her, does your cat have pus-filled bumps on the back of her neck? In my case, it was a food allergy, I had to visit two different vet clinics (the second one was more competent and said it's most likely a food allergy.) She was put on...

I recently adopted my first cat, and I strongly suspect she's a Russian Blue. I read about their personalities and it matches mine perfectly. Her paw pads are black. Here's some pictures:

Apologies for the late reply. She's on a hydrolyzed protein diet, she's getting Royal Canin Hypoallergenic DR 25 (soy protein) and Hills z/d (rice protein.) The vet never said anything about an elimination diet and said she can eat these two for life, so I don't really have any plans on...

Here's an update for future reference, in case someone stumbles upon this thread. Looks like you and @huxleysmom were right! I took her to the vet around three days ago (and it was way better than the previous one), the itching and obsessive grooming had come back in full force. They inspected...

I don't think that's the reason, since she refuses to eat out of her old bowl that still has the usual food smell, and her current bowl isn't plastic. She smells the food, so she knows that it's her food.

I have a cat that's fairly picky about food, every time I wash her food bowl, she refuses to eat out of it. I've only done it twice, she'll eat the food if I drop it in front of her, bring the bowl to her or out of my hand, but she won't eat it if it's in the regular place. The first time this...

Thanks for the information and encouragement, I'll definitely get a 2nd opinion as soon as possible. Milly's really cute, please give her some pets from me. I'll update this thread in the future. :)

She didn't test for ear mites and/or yeast, I'm pretty dissatisfied with the vet and I'll be visiting another clinic next time. She didn't do very much, just inspected my cat with her hands and eyes. Here's pictures of the insides of both her ears, there's some brown spots but I chalked that up...

There's no pollen around here at this time, I'm in Scandinavia. It could very well be the food, I'll get some new food tomorrow, even though she's on a diet at the moment per the vets recommendation. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi everybody, I recently adopted my first pet cat, a formerly homeless female around the age of 6. She was abandoned by her previous owners and had to live outside for a while. When I adopted her, I noticed that she had a bald spot around one of her ears and a wound that was healing (images...
