Please forgive me if the formatting is weird, this is my first post on this forum
My cat is a year old. When I first got her, I noticed she would scratch at her eyes, mouth, chin and ears alot to the point that the fur would come off. I took her to the vet and they told me she has an allergy to something (they couldn’t and still can’t confirm what it is). We tried switching her food (at least 10 times now) and that didn’t work. I got rid of scented products that I use that might cause her allergies to flare up, that didn’t work. We got an allergy test done and it came back saying no external factors are the cause. The vet usually gives her an allergy shot and she’s fine for a month, but then the scratching starts again. The vet is refusing to give any more shots because they said my cat might get diabetes or cancer if I keep doing it. The scratching has started again, and although it’s not as bad as it usually is, I have no idea what to do to stop it from happening in the first place
Below is an old image that usually shows how bad it is
