Y'ALL I RETURN WITH BEST NEWS. the Hydrolyzed protein diet has worked some MAGIC. Cora is absolutely allergic to chicken (or poultry whatever), and after three months on the new food, and nothing but the new food, her belly is growing fur slowly, there's only one mark left and it's nearly...

She really will. She is not a picky cat, unlike her sister who is. Sometimes Kali will just be like, oh, it's wet food this morning? Nah. I only want crunchies. And then the next day she'll see the crunchies and go? WHERE WET FOOD?! She's my baby, and I would literally do anything for her...

Hey y'all, Finally after roughly four months, Cora's belly is entirely scab free. Fur is still thin, but from what I know, it'll take a while to grow back fully. She's still having some tummy issues, but I think that'll be solved over time. She has a check up on the 20th, and I'm so glad to be...

Hey y'all, I am fully recovered from my surgery, and during the month of recovery, Cora had been phased entirely off poultry foods and placed on RAW Instinct Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Rabbit kibble, and also RAW Instinct Rabbit Pate (with pork broth). She's still on the flortiflora, and...

I checked out the PetMD link, and Cora has dandruff at the base of her tail and her lower back, and she does scratch but not so much that she gives herself scabs. She's definitely barbering, as the fur of her belly is prickly. Her scabs are self inflicted and don't ooze or have pus. It's...

Yeah, you basically hit the nail on the head. She's already fixed and was when I got her eight years ago, as is her sister. (They are litter mates, found at the same time and a condition of adopting them was they had to stay together.) She's an indoor only cat, I live in the middle of nowhere...

I also bought a new suit for her in the same style and more elastic loopies. I'm going to use the two suits to swap back and forth so they can be washed. She's not thrilled but she's used to it. I just want her to be better :(

Okay after posting the last post, I decided to just put her back in the suit. I had my husband cradle her like the giant baby she is and sprayed her stomach with Vetericyn spray and cleaned all the red areas. I then put some quadruple antibiotic ointment on them (the vet gave me that...

She does sometimes try to go for her stomach but she often just licks her legs instead, but not like she licks her stomach. She tolerates the suit okay but you can tell she's not thrilled about it. I took her out so her belly could get some air but she just won't leave the spot alone. When we're...

Hey y'all, Some of you might remember me from an overgrooming post about my cat Cora, when we thought it was anxiety so she was prescribed prozac. However, she had a bad reaction to the med and was taken off it after four days. We got her some Fortiflora for her soft stool and that's helped a...

This is my last update, probably: Cora has returned to being very snuggly, I just woke up to find her next to me in bed, cuddled up in all my pillows and about an inch from my nose. Her ear still has missing fur but it no longer looks red and bloody, it just looks like skin mostly. She slept on...

Yeah, the goop seemed to have cleared up over night. She had some crusties but nothing out of the ordinary. She and her sister were feral cats that had to be trapped using a safe trap. Both Cora and her sister had vicious URIs, though Cora's cleared up quickly and her sisters very much did not...

I was so exhausted when I got home from the vet that I just went straight to bed but: Vet took her off prozac and gave her antibiotic ointment for her torn up ear. He wasn't concerned about the goopy eyes, he says sometimes that can just happen especially in cats that had URIs as kittens (she...

Good morning to me, Cora jumped on my lap and did her daily headbutt for food and I looked down and saw a dime sized circle of raw flesh on her ear which was not there an hour ago. Ear pets are one of her favorite things I was JUST giving her the ear pets. I freaked, called the vet, they can fit...

So tonight is the first night I've been home since giving her the prozac, and she is definitely extra tired. She has a new favorite spot to lay in that she's never used before. I also noticed her eyes seemed to be watering a lot, it was clear and not sticky, but I have no idea if she got into...

Honestly, it does look like your cat is scratching himself too much. I'd bring him to an ER vet.

If you attached a picture, it didn't load in, so we don't know what "like this" means. Please attempt again or describe.

The new food I got them, neither of the cats liked very much. They didn't eat all of it, and of course the part Cora didn't eat had the pill in it, so I had to pill her traditionally which neither of us liked. That was awful. So I think I'm going to have to give her the tuna until I can get a...

So because of the supply shortage, I had to give them something new this morning that has Salmon oil in it, while I order something else online. My hope is that because it's so far down on the list and it isn't actually the meat or protein, there won't be a huge issue. Nothing I can do about it...

Small new update: Cleaned their boxes an hour before work which of course made both cats go into their favorite boxes and use them, and Cora's stool was firm and not wet so that's nice. However, I thought about what Lulu&Finn said, about allergies because they've been on a chicken diet...
