    Cat Allergies - synotic

    In house swab and cytology by derm vet. She said if she had seen bacteria present under her microscope she would have sent for a culture but no bacteria seen. He often has waxy ears due to allergies. Everyone wants to swab his ears! Does anyone have experience using synotic for skin flare ups?

    Cat Allergies - synotic

    That’s what I’m seeing about synotic too but it can also be used for skin papules from what my vet tells me. I saw one article online that discusses this but mostly ear treatment. He does get his ears cleaned each week and did have an ear swab done today at the vet to look for infection. No...

    Skin Vs Food Allergy

    My cat Haze and I have been slowly going through the food and skin allergy issue for the last few years. Long story short, we initially thought he had a food allergy but after going to Z/D food, the itching and hair loss continued. It seems seasonal - worse at times and not so bad at other...

    Neck Lump 6 Month Old Cat

    So the ultrasound is somewhat mysterious per the vet. The mass is oblong shaped rather than circular. Due to the quickness of development, the vet suggested anti-inflammatories and an antibiotic first to see if the mass comes down in size which would mean it’s related to an infection (possibly...

    Neck Lump 6 Month Old Cat

    Thank you for the info. I was leaning towards an abscess also due to how quickly it developed but the vet did a needle aspiration of the mass and the only thing that came out was blood. Not even any lymph cells..some round cells. They let me look at the microscope! They are doing an ultrasound...

    Cat Allergies And Atopic

    I actually did ask about CBD oil because read it’s great for inflammation and URIs. My vet was not on board as it has not had enough studies done with cats - dosing was his biggest concern. I actually bought some and gave him one dose and he coincidentally started scratching really bad that...

    Cat Allergies And Atopic

    Science Diet Z/D is the prescription food advised by his vet. It’s hydrolized for skin/food allergies. It’s breaks down proteins so much that the body can’t recognize them to have an allergic reaction. I think a derm appt might be next. I’d like to see what he is allergic to. Might help me at...

    Cat Allergies And Atopic

    Thank you for your reply! I think I just worry that I’ll annoy my vet with repeated questions or offend him if it sounds like I’m questioning him. Haze is strictly indoors. We have no plants inside - he has had a run in with Lilies! So we have no plants . I’ve tried to determine what the...

    My cat Haze (almost 5 yrs old) has skin allergies as well as food allergies. He’s been pretty level by eating Z/D dry food and wet food for about 2 1/2 years with an occasional upper respiratory infection flare up which leads to itchiness (stress!). In the past I gave him an antihistamine named...

    Cat Skin Allergy Reaction To Clotrimazole

    Yes, I think that’s it. Haze seems super sensitive to many things so perhaps the vet thought to start with the topical. Lesson learned! 18 hours later, here are the updated pics showing the reaction almost gone

    Cat Skin Allergy Reaction To Clotrimazole

    Thank you for your response. My vet said he felt more comfortable starting with the antifungal topical until the culture came back. He said he didn’t want to give an oral antifungal until culture confirmed ringworm if I remember correctly it was due to the oral having a bit more side effects...

    Interesting. Will have to give that a try. Do you think it will cause the other cats to think it's ok to not use the box?

    4 Cats Coming Together In One Household

    No wet food. Pepper won't eat it. We've tried on several occasions. One of the reasons he gets the lactulose and cisipride medications - keep the poop soft. Which it is. I can tell...outside the box! Haha!
