My cat is an 11 year old ragdoll who suffers from allergies he is basically bald on his belly and raw from excessive licking. I started him on atopica last Thursday as of late s Sunday he developed a raspy deep congested sound I took him to the vet who said upper respiratory issue but he does have a small heart murmer at a 2. Started on antibiotics and he refuses to eat or drink I'm forcing water and food down him. Stopped the atopica per vet started on lasix to be safe he didn't have fluid built up around heart. Sounds better today but he's starting to lick again. Has anyone had problems with atopica ??? I'm just thinking maybe he got sick but not from the meds. It seems to be the only med that works so he doesn't excessive lick himself into a crusty mess.
