Has anyone ever dealt with a carpet beetle problem (I cannot bring myself to use the word 'infestation')? I have two 12 yr old cats and one has been licking her tummy bald for about a year now (she was labeled insane--psychogenic alopecia) and another who's just started scratching and biting at his fur a few months ago. They've been on two new diets since (both grain-free and unique protein and carb sources), I've purchased HEPA allergen filters and have checked for fleas. Decided to check their bedding today (duh!) and found the carpet beetle larvae (thank you, Internets!). So…could THIS be the allergy source? I've found info on humans with carpet beetle larvae dermatitis but not a d*mned thing on cats.
HELP?!?!
