My cat, Daisy, has always been a bit anxious and has had issues with excessive grooming for most of her life. It was never bad enough that she lot hair though, and Feliway has helped calm her down. Then, a few months ago I noticed that her belly was completely bald!
I took her to the vet and they gave me some allergy medication to try. Since starting the meds (about a month ago), the grooming has gotten exponentially worse. Now the underside of her tail, inside of her hind legs, and armpits and parts of her front legs have no fur. Now she’s starting on the outside of her hind legs too!!
I called the vet again and they told me to stop the allergy meds and prescribed ampitrypline(sp?). I’m still waiting for the prescription to be ready, so I haven’t started giving it to her yet. Do you think it will help? I’m really concerned at how quickly she’s losing hair. Is this really just anxiety, or something more? Please help!
