About 9 months ago I went and got a cat for my wife from the humaine society and since then I've had nothing but problems. This was my wifes first cat so it means alot to her and I've tried helping in anyway I can to get this cat healthy.
When we first got Lilly she had ringworm (which I didn't know but found out the hard way). Between vet bills and doctor bills, I spent over 600 getting this cleared up. I began to notice some balding behind her ears which the vet told me was normal when they had ring worm. After the ring worm went away, the balding seem to go away.
We recently got married and moved into a appartment with the cats. Alex, the other cat hasn't had any of the problems Lilly has. I'd say about four months ago Lilly began itching more frequently and she started to get clumps of baldness underneath her neck. We took her to the vet and he said "It looks like a food allergy." We've spent hundreds of dollars in vet bills trying to figure out what she has and if it is even curable. I feel like the vet has been dragging me through the dirt because nothing he's suggested has worked.
Lilly is now on a duck and pea diet (Alex is as well so they both have the same food) and the problem only seems to be getting worse. I'm hoping someone out there might have a clear answer for us because my wife keeps getting more and more upset as Lilly gets worse.
I took this picture today to illustrate what it is I'm talking about.

If anyone has any information on this, please reply. Also, Lilly also has bumps all over her body, they almost feel like scabs.
Thanks for any information,
