Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That sounds awful, and I hope it goes away soon.

How is your kitty doing now? I forgot to add that the PR did pretty much go away on its own.

Here are some pictures. And, Tori (the kitten) was all better about a week or two ago. :) :) :)

That’s very interesting! It’s a hard thing to spot in the early stages, as it doesn’t really hurt or itch until about the 2-3 week mark. Krissy is almost 100% better. Most of her nose fur has grown back, she shows very little black stuff on her chin (I agree that was probably feline Acne, and...

Thank you for the pictures. I’m sorry to say this but I definitely think she has PR. Krissy’s PR started at the tip of her ears, her nose, and in the same spot your cat has behind the ears. Unfortunately, there is no known treatment (for cats) from what I have read. When I had PR, the spots were...

Hi! It appears that the bumps are going away on their own. Do you have pictures of them? Has anybody with Pityriasis Rosea been near your cat? I didn't do anything to Krissy except clean her ears as needed. I did notice, as cruel as it sounds and as much as it broke my heart to hear her cry...

We have not heard anything back from our vet, she never called, or made any attempt to further help us. We did not pay her (you don't pay a vet if you are just calling to make an appointment, right?) , but would have if we had to take Krissy into her office. Krissy is showing major improvement...

Thank you for the links. Our vet did not take a skin sample of our dog as it would cost $235 and a month to get the results back. She did shine the dog's skin issue under a blacklight and said that she though the dog had a rare type of ringworm she hadn't seen in a while. We do have a small...

We talked to our vet over the phone today. We have been bathing our dog every 3 days for the past week or so with an anti-fungal shampoo as our vet thinks our dog has ringworm. It has been a week and our dog isn't showing any signs of improvement. I know ringworm takes some time to go away but...

We will definetly let you all know what the vet says! We talked to one of the vet's staff members a couple days ago hoping for an online/in store appointment. An online visit would be best. Since it is the weekend, we haven't heard anything back. Hoping for something on Monday. Krissy isn't...

Thanks for the suggestions! She is still losing more fur around her nose and it seems to be getting worse. I agree she should be seen by a vet. We should be able to send a few pictures to our vet to see what she thinks. The kitten was checked by several vets. We got her from a rescue and she had...

Just wanted to give a quick update on her. I tried to clean out her ears best I could. I'm gonna sound like a horrible cat owner in doing this but, I did the big no-no. I used a Q-Tip to clean her ears.:eek: She didn't move, and could still easily respond to me snapping or calling so I supposed...

I would love to try cream for her however, our vets in NJ aren't very willing to give advice without pay unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

I find it very interesting that you thought she could have a cold from the Herpes virus. Because, my younger sister and I were recently diagnosed with Pityriasis Rosea, a strange skin rash very closely related to the Herpes Virus! Could it be that whatever my sister and I had could have passed...

Thanks all! Her ears are doing better today. She hasn't been scratching them that I've seen but, her ears have been a little droopy lately. I'm guessing it is due to the Vaseline.

Thank you SO SO SO much for all your help and advice! It is strange to me that she has had this food dish her entire life, and is getting issues now. I will definitely get into the routine of washing her bowls in the dishwasher. She is fed regular kibble. Not wet food. I love her but not THAT...

Thank you! Her dish sits inside another tray, and the tray is made of plastic. The dish itself is stainless steel, but I will wash it thoroughly anyways. Thanks so much! I'm assuming warm water, right?

Even though this isn't a great picture, here's a picture of the kitten the first or second day we got her. Just to show how much of a state she was in when we got her, the top of her nose used to be black--it's pink now. All that black stuff appeared to be dried blood of some sort. And, her ears...

Thanks so much for the help! The kitten had the crustiness in her ears when we got her. Today was the first day I noticed that about 95% of it was gone on the kitten. Today, I noticed Krissy had the same crustiness but she had it worse than the kitten ever did. The texture and color of the...

Thankfully, the area isn't swollen. I did noticed a lot of weird little black specks in the area though. Her chin and the area above her mouth were not red before. It's a little hard to see but, she didn't have any red areas in the picture below.
