I took in a 10-year-old feral, Lola, a few years ago. When she was still outdoors I could pet her but she was covered in scabs. Thought it was due to possible fighting with other ferals in the area. But I realized once she came inside...she was scratching herself so hard that she caused the wounds all over her body. I have taken her to the vet twice since...for check ups and to discuss the issue but they are clueless and I have become very unhappy with their services lately and will not take her back. She has bonded with me but she is still very feral and does not like strangers and is terrified of the vet, that they have to sedate her when I bring her in. I don’t wish to do that to her at this stage of her 13 years...I’m just trying to keep her as healthy and comfortable with her remaining time.
I have tried 5mg of Zyrtec...have tried fish oil supplements...tried changing foods...taking out all seafood...even tried a natural supplement (sorry I don’t recall the name) and we have checked for flees and even put on flee control, though she stays indoors all the time. It’s not an indoor environment as she had the issue outdoors. I still think it’s allergies but I don’t know what to try next...and don’t want take her back to the vet...suggestions? Thank you.
