Kyra is about 8 y/o a stray that adopted us 6 years ago and is now an indoor cat. In August/September she was scratching neck and shoulder areas quite a bit 10-20 times/day for just a few seconds each time. She is a Norwegian Forest Cat, probably.... and has thick fur. Went to vet in early October and vet could not find anything amiss. Gave her a shot of depo-Medrol.....0.15 dose. Worked pretty good. Now scratching only 5 times a day. Recheck with vet 2 weeks later went well. No more shots. Perhaps a skin scrape and lab to see if anything there...might be next.
Better Half thinks a 7 day stay in August at a local boarding place might have upset the cat and caused the scratching. I dunno.
We are checking on food allergies, both wet, dry and treats. Why do cats get Zyrtec ? Maybe litter should be unscented and dust free ? Wife likes to spray air freshener in her litter box....No ear mites.
In the meantime, I know someone who has their cats on Prozac....?? Also saw a "calming" supplement composed of Thiamine (B1)...Colostrum and L-Thdeanine. Any thoughts for Kyra ?
TIA
