Hello guys,
I adopted a cat in August, she had scratching issues of her ears and above her eyes mentioned on her vet papers she came with. They had her on some drugs for it and a couple weeks after me having her she's gone back to scratching. I have nail caps on her back toes to help her not tear herself up, but the areas are still so red and irritated. I've gotten her a e collar to help keep her from scratching the raw areas. It helps, but then she gets so stinky from not being able to clean herself (especially being a long hair, ya know...after using the litter box isn't always pretty down there).
It was mentioned she might be allergic to chicken but I've not been feeding her chicken.
Does anyone have any experience with a scratchy cat like this and something to help?
Or should I just give in and go to the vet and get more drugs?
