Update January 2024- Boo is finally healed!!! thank You all for your concerns and suggestions. It took a total of three steroid shots with about two weeks in between. One thing that helped was as it scabbed over we took a tiny comb and just rubbed the hair away from the scab with our finger...

Hi no. We live in a very small area. I’m not sure how I would go about finding that service.

Update: went again today for follow up. Was actually looking better scanned over. An hour before we got there he scratched it off and we are back to the raw bloody neck again. The vet gave him another steroid but we can’t just keep doing shots every week. Possibly will have to put him down if he...

Update on the situation: went to a new vet. The most patient and kind vet ever. Took the time to listen. We have him a steroid shot which may cause complications-but I’m willing to do that at this point. She said it was large but looked healthy not infected. He got a shot and she gave me...

Thank you

Hi. Not a specialist just another vet in my hometown, which is very small. What type of specialty would I look for? Honestly, I’m willing to work with anyone that will help. I just feel like I’m not getting anywhere and we are trying two rounds of same meds back to back.

I’m back with another post about this same issue of neck wound. To recap cat had abscess in May, started scratching under neck I think bc hair was growing back. Took to vet, went through all kinds of steroids etc nothing worked. Gave him covenia. I had to take him back because it didn’t get...

Update: Took cat to the vet. They did some test to find out why it is not healing. They found that he has a heart murmur and is anemic, which is separate from the neck issue. She didn't want to give a steroid bc of the heart issue so she gave me something liquid to put in his food. Some type...

My cat had an abscess a few weeks ago. It’s healed fine but he started scratching right up under where they cut him. We took him back to the vet. Got an antibiotic shot to help heal but he’s still scratching. We haven’t changed food or anything. Normally in the past the shot would quickly heal...

Thanks so much for the suggestion. Yes I forgot to add he’s neutered. Has been since the week I got him.

I’ve had my cat since 2017 and he’s never used a litter box inside. Always goes out to use the bathroom. A year or so ago I saw him “spray” outside over bushes or other outdoor type things. All of a sudden this week he backed up to my fireplace inside and of course I knew what it looked like he...

Paul your cat looks just like my cat!

Thanks for all the suggestions! I will try a few of those. Unfortunately in the past he has not been interested in any toys other than a shoestring that he chases around the house.

Thank you for the suggestion. He's never had catnip so I'm a bit scared. Here lately after eating he goes crazy (after eating fancy feast tubs or broth). Not sure what's in those things. Anyway. He goes nuts and runs around for about ten minutes before finally passing out! I may try the catnip...

Thank you. I think boredom is it!

I was on this site last year looking for info but my cat just stopped with the licking. He's back at it again. Constantly licking almost some places raw. No fleas or anything like that. What should I do to get him to stop? He will lick when he's sleepy too and go to sleep and then wake back up...

Thank you for your reply! I'd love to think I'm super lucky and he will be housetrained! Will see if he's got an allergy problem! I feel better already!

Two issues.  Stray cat has been with me since July.  Was originally outside cat but has slowly worked his way inside on occasion. So, I put out a litter box to just see if he would use it.  The cat will get in the litter box and act like he is playing, laying down in it.  He loves dirt.  Outside...
