One of my cats has reddish scabs on her lower back and the vet has said that she is allergic to flea bites. Your cat could have a flea allergy but it can also be a food allergy since it is near the face/head, which is where scabs due to food allergies usually appear. An injury or bite to that...

1) Haven't heard of places to get free meds and unless these places are reputable, I wouldn't trust them. 2) Aside from c/d and x/d, that I know of, another prescription diet is Royal Canin Veterinary Diet feline Urinary SO. There are some non-vet/non-prescription, over the counter diets that...

Hi, I'm supposed to give my cat oral Amoxil, 2ml twice a day for 10 days to clear up her sneezing.
