Lately we have been having trouble with our youngest cat, Sophie. A few weeks ago she knocked over lamps and pictures in the house and just tore it up, so we started shutting her and our other cat into a room while we left the house. We noticed that shortly thereafter she started licking her stomach nonstop and the hair begin to thin out. Her nipples had the appearance of pimples and her skin was red. About two weeks ago we left for a weeklong trip and had a friend visit the cats while we were gone. When we came back the situation was worse. Sophie was licking herself to the point where big clumps of fur were coming out and she even starting pulling the fur out with her teeth. So we bought her Animal Aloe Herbal Skin Treatment from an organic store nearby and gave her a flea bath (she has a few) and we also let the cats roam freely while we are gone. Her condition was slowly but surely getting better. Then today Sophie has been nonstop pulling fur out and it's gotten worse because now where she pulled some off today, there is what looks like an open sore. She isn't displaying any signs of pain from the irritated skin. I did switch their dry food a few days before we left for the trip, but the behavior began before then, and I switched their wet food after we came back. Any ideas?
