As the title says I have a 3 year old fixed domestic short hair male who has been for the last 3/4 months been bitting and pulling his fur out leaving a large open wound. We've taken him to 2 different vets who have given us wound care instructions, septic powder and told us to keep him in a sweater and give him calming treats. So far no one wants to put him on any stress meds and the sweater was working for awhile until it would start sticking to the wound and we had to stop using it for fear of infection. I'm at my limit on what to do here. We have other cats who he gets along with and his twin brother is always by his side.
What can I do to try and stop this behavior? My husband is looking at maybe re-homing him if things don't get any better due to him always having this leaking open wound on his back. He's begun to not want to be touched at all due to having to put the powder on the wound.
