Hi,
My cat has licked all the fur on her belly and has continued to do so for 4 months now. She is now licking the fur off her back and front legs. She is on a flea treatment. My other cat is ok (no itching/licking/missing fur). Took her to the vet and they gave her steroids to calm the itch. It didn't help. It started when I went on a month long road trip and thought it was stress related. I have her in a shirt and that seems to help some but at night time she licks and bites at herself. She goes outside on a leash per vet recommendation for stress relief. I have her on Homeopet stress drops, and skin and itch drops. I've tried hot spot treatment and bacterial wipes. She is on a raw food diet (turkey and duck) for her whole life and this has never caused any issues before. She was getting chronic ear infections but those went away when I cut out the egg from one of her foods. She still itches a lot around her eyes. Any suggestions what I should do? Should I start with switching her food? or treating her for environmental allergies. Add any supplements. Thanks! Any advice is welcome.
