If I already treated it then what do I do

I have heard of atopica and I hope I don't have to resort to it :(. Will keep trying until all options are exhausted. I'd have to have both cats on it..id have to sell my kidney to afford that, haha!

Please keep me updated! I will look into the coconut oil as well. Although, I am a little reluctant to give them the coconut oil just because I'm doing the strict food trial.

thank you very much. My kitties love kibble now too... hoping for the best!!

Thank you so much for that post...I will research when I get home from work. We have tried royal canin hydrolyzed protein but it wasn't long enough to see results. Ive been impatient. And my cats got into the trash last night because of my roommate so I need to start the food trial allllll over...

Well I have them on a new food elimination diet and its dry...ahh! they wouldn't have a problem with wet. Its been 3 weeks and thundy is still itching on zyrtec. Should I try something else? I feel like theres something in my apt and then only way to test it out is move

Forgot to add that Lentil completely stopped itching 10 days into the antibiotics. When the round was done, she itched like crazy again. The vet decided to do another round just to see, but it did nothing this time. Thundi is still on zyrtec and I'm struggling to pill him even with the gun now...

No progress at all.... ugh.

Posting with an update about my kitties. Brought them to the new vet who has a special interest in skin issues. He did another skin scraping of Lentil (she is the itchiest, and has tons of scabs on her neck) and also took blood work, Nothing showed on the scrapes but he DID find white blood...

Well, the vet found nothing, really. He did a skin scraping and the only thing that was abnormal was that he found whiten blood cells and a lot of staph on her skin. So she's on claxamox 1 ml 2x a day for 2 weeks. Seems excessive..I don't know. I went out and got some really good instinct dry...

I had them on prescription venison and pea for 6 weeks. then tried a prescription hypoallergenic hydrolyzed food for 6 weeks. thank you for the compassion. its 4 am here and my appointment is in 5 hours! I'm praying...

MnM, that makes me VERY hopeful because I have only used antihistamines for about a week and then got discouraged...I will keep trying! Randomhero, that is great advice. I will gladly spend my day off from working stalking my kitties :) sounds like fun, honestly!! I got a coupon for a free vet...

MnM, so sorry to hear you are dealing with the same hell I am! There very well could be mold that I can't see... but I don't smell anything. I forget the antihistamine I'm trying out for Lentil right now, its Chlor something. How long did it take for the meds to kick in for your kitty? They itch...

I mostly vacuum, I don't clean the floors with stuff often (I know this is gross. This is my first apartment and I'm learning..hahaha). I can't think of anything else I use that would upset them. I feed them Friskies turkey and giblets pate. They used to be fed Purina one, and I had given them...

Hi guys, I've read almost every post on here that has the keyword "itchy"... I've been looking on here for WEEKS just in case so I wouldn't have to bother you guys. Here is my story. My boyfriend and I adopted a 3 month kitten, Lentil, in October of last year. She ended up getting diagnosed...
