Hello!
I took in a feral kitty from outside due to the fact that I noticed she had an injury on her neck.
At first, I thought she was injured from another animal from outside, but now I believe that isn't the case.
I've brought her to the vet and they applied Revolution on her in case she had any fur mites. It's been a little over a week since the application, but my kitty continues to itch herself.
They recommended that I change her diet, and I've already tried several dry food to no avail.
The very first food she was on was "Whiskas Meaty Selection"
Then, I swapped to "Whole Earth Farms Grain Free - Chicken"
Next I changed it to "Nutrience - Ocean Fish"
Now my cat is currently eating "Instinct Limited Ingredient Diet - Rabbit". She's been eating this food for about a week.
I'm a little skeptical about "Hill's Science Diet Food" because of some stuff I read online, as well as my vet scolding me about why I didn't try the food he recommended.
I think my cat has allergies and I'm having difficulties identifying the cause. She recently itched herself to the point where she's bald and continues to do so until it started to bleed a little. I put her on the cone, but I think she may still be reaching the spot behind her head with her hind legs.
My questions are:
Is this really a case of allergies?
How long do I need to wait for the allergies to go away after changing her diet?
Would nail caps help her in this case?
Are there any other food that may help her, such as a venison flavored rather than rabbit?
