My cat is covered in scabs. The Vet gave her a steroid jab and an antibiotic jab and within 2 weeks she was clear. Now,5 weeks later, she's staring to scab up again. The Vet said her lymph nodes were enlarged and wants to do tissue scraping and blood tests. Now 1, I don't have insurance and 2, she gets in such a state I don't want to put her through that. She seems fine in herself,still goes out all day god knows where and is eating well. What would you do?

Flea and other allergies are best treated with medication, but sometimes when a cat gets into a licking habit, they just won't quit and the next thing you know they're bald in places.
When I had a cat go through this I hit on the idea of using a dog sweater. (I tried a baby's tee-shirt first, but sweaters are form fitting and the cat has a harder time getting around them. ) The longest it took to break the habit was two weeks. But the compulsion was broken and the fur grew back. |
