My lovely cat Rosie has recently had a mysterious rash that developed into many, large itchy scabs. I thought it was a flea allergy, but the vet said she couldn't see flea dirt and she is de-flea'd regularly. After a steroid injection, the scabs have improved immensely, however now there is a new thing which is why I'm reaching out here...
Coinciding with the scab issue, I noticed 2 other things, which I assumed were linked to the scabs and consequent over-grooming at the itchy sites.

- She has started salivating a lot more than she used to and
- She has started dropping whole, unchewed pieces of her food (both dry and wet food) all over the house. It's as if a piece of food becomes stuck in her mouth and when she realises it, having walked around for 5 minutes or so, she spits it out.
