My cat is 2 1/2 years old she is fixed. When she turned a year old she got fleas we gawd a little trouble getting them to go away with walk to walk carpeting it took us a month at least but once they were gone I noticed my cat was still scratching. In the last year I have risen her to 3 vets and paid rediculous amounts for nothing, not one vet can figure out why my cat scratches only her face and a little under neck to the point that she is missing CHUNKS of skin and flesh. All vets were mortified and have never seen a cat look as bad as she has done to herself. I have noticed changes in the house will get her scratching more and tried to tell the vets I think it's her nerves but I was dismissed. Prednisone was prescribed and did NOTHING to deter her scratching, when she has gotten her face so bad she bleeds everywhere I put a cone on to help clear it up and she keeps everyone awake with the constant " tick tick tick" of that scratching cone noise ! I'm at the end of my rope and am considering bringing her to shelter. I can't afford another $400 vet to tell me it's an allergy , we think, but everything we tried didn't work.
We have switched food several times over 1.5 years,
Switched litter
Gave in and let her go outside
Prednisone,
Kitty calming treats
We do the antibiotics, the antibiotic cream etc for her wounds.
Any ideas would love to hear them UNLESS you say food or litter ...
