Let us start with a bit of history. My roommate adopted a cat named Loki. While a normal looking kitty he has allergies to chicken and almost anything not containing just meat. He will get bloated and really miserable-Bloody (literally) constipated. We spent a lot on vet bills (over $500) in the first year trying to keep him tip top... AND my other roommate seeing Loki just had to adopt a kitten named Lola and brought in ring worm.
The treatments to say the least brought a lot of trauma to Loki. You even move towards a bottle he starts to panic. But that went away and he got over it. My roommates kitten Lola though also got diagnosed with feline herpes and always sounds like darth vader and sneezing/coughing. Lola is always biting and harassing poor Loki. I have pictures of holes she's put in his head.
Now with Loki's current problem. Loki keeps scratching and licking bald spots. We are having problems here finding a vet who will treat him rather then saying "oh it's ring worm agian". It's not the same, nothing like what was before. Plus ring worm likes me and Loki sleeps with me a lot and I have no rashes. We've been at this for months. When we can get Loki to stop licking or scratching he starts quickly healing.
Lola does not have this problem, only Loki
So can anyone here give us a bone to actually approach a vet and be like HEY look for this. Rather then traumatizing this poor cat more. Plus my savings is gone, hers is gone. This cat already used it so knowing what to aim for will really help.
Loki in all his lazy glory. You an see a bald patch on the front leg I end up playing with.
