cat princesses, LB was biopsied & it was determined that he has FIUD (feline idiopathic ulcerative dermatitis) as his main problem. From my understanding and research allergy testing on cats is definitely NOT an exact science & my vet does not recommend it. In his condition, he will most...

Hi everyone! Sorry to have been away so long. My struggles still continue with my LB too ,,, sadly! He has gotten to the point now where the steroid injections are doing harm to his body. He developed a heart murmur some time back & the last injection in Feb 2016 caused him very, very loose...

IF your cat can tolerate Atopica, it is an option for managing FIUD.   Unfortunately, after 2 trials, it was not a viable option for my baby.  It made him extremely sick at both ends (if you get my drift) & he was a most miserable lil boy (had no energy, slept around the clock also) in the...

Dee1953, This looks horrible & reminds me of what my boy's open wound on his back was like before I was able to get him diagnosed.  It turns out that he has FIUD (feline idiopathic ulcerative dermatitis).  It is simply a very rare form of cat skin disease that they do not know the source of...

Very rare condition it seems.  I am certainly glad for the "fix" that has made it much better!!   Thanks for sharing!  

I am sorry to hear about your little darling's problems.  I do not know what it could possibly be myself, but I do know that your "BS meter" as his Mom is working well & you must find yet another vet if you do not get satisfaction at this second one either!   My darling had to go for that 3rd...

I just wanted to suggest that perhaps you would consider using "Vetericyn Hot Spot Spray" until you can get your kitty seen by a vet.  It is simply a mixture of oxygenated water that can do not harm even if licked by the kitty!  It will soothe & promote healing on wounds.   I have used it many...

Conservitive1, Any update on this poor kee??  I do hope you were able to attain some kind of help for it. As a very last option, I would contact the Humane Society, rather than allow it to suffer.

Update on LB & finding a home for unused Atopica ... It has been 2 months since LB's last depo shot & he has been holding pretty well.  He did have a flare-up a few days ago with his hair falling out on his belly & a little redness around his eyes.   I noted that he had been leaving a LOTS of...

November 1, 2016 I just wanted to update my last post about the Atopica.  I had someone who stepped forward & said they could use this medication.  So, it has found a home!  I am glad that it will benefit another furbaby! Mom2LB

To Anyone who uses Atopica: I have some leftover capsules from a failed attempt to treat my cat with Atopica: I have 16 sealed capsules (10 mg 4-9 lbs) It actually states on the back that this is for use only in dogs, but it was prescribed for my cat, as these are usually easier than the...

I luv my cats, No, you misunderstand.  I am looking to give some away that my cat was unable to tolerate!  I am willing to ship what I have to anyone who has a cat that can tolerate Atopica.   Mom2LB

Min Fish, I see ... well water is excellent water, I don't know if the minerals & iron could be an irritant or not?  Our water is very hard also, but it's city water, so I am sure it's treated with other stuff too.  When I distill my water, there are lots of hard minerals left behind & there is...

Min Fish, Wow!  I think that's wonderful that you are getting some results with your rather unusual treatment.  I do hope you will continue to see improvements!! I am really believing with my LB that giving him distilled water for drinking was one of my biggest gains in his improved overall...

Hi Minniesunshine, Thanks for inquiring about LB.  He is doing quite well at the moment.  I am always afraid to hope for too much for too long, as he can turn around so very quickly. He had his lost depo shot on August 29th & so far he has had a great appetite, plays well & not itching.  I am...
