I just returned from a vet appointment.
My cat has been scratching and grooming a lot more than normal, and aggressively as well. He's developing scabs throughout is lower back and neck. Finding fresh wounds breaks my heart.
Last time (2 weeks ago) the vet suggested it was an allergy saying "it could be anything". And prescribed 1 x 10mg of steroids tablet a day.
I saw little improvement during these 2 weeks, so the vet doubled the dosage just now.
Again, little interest in finding the root causes.
I am freaking out bc I am reading about the effects of this medication on cats.
This is making me so sad.
He is on Orijen Cat & Kitten and I am thinking if i should replace with something else.
Do you have any other suggestions??
