I am definitely not an expert, but I have gone through improper elimination with both my cats over the ten years of owning them. The first thing my vet recomended the last year when my cat started eliminating outside the box was natural things. She made me go buy new litter boxes and replace...

I know you posted this a year ago, but do you have any updates on what this turned out to be? Did you take your cat to the vet?

No x-ray was done. She looked at it, but didn't see a rash or anything, so she just said well, that could be another sign of disease. He is sleeping right now, and I will go take a closer look at the paw if he will let me. He doesn't want it being touched. :( Wow, I hope it's not that. The...

He is one of two cats. They do not like each other, but they have lived together for 10 years, so it is not anything new regarding a pet. I've lived in the same home for the past 6 years, and have had the same job for the past five years. There really hasn't been any change this year that...

Well, unfortunately, he has to learn to deal with the vacuum and the trash men that also scare him. lol. I have to vacuum more because of him and the other cat. haha

I could definitely try a food without chicken for a few weeks. Any Suggestions for a single protein that would be an easy transition?

The overgrooming/licking/hair loss started before he was put on the pred. I don't think that's causing the issue. I'm not using any new cleaning products, I vacuum all the time, and he has been on the same brand of food for a while. I do think it could be a food allergy, but how do I change...

I will look into the rescue remedy. I think I saw they have some formula where I can add it to the water. The belly I guess I'm getting used to, but the paws he is still licking everyday. There is something that is bothering him. I have my other cat of prozac due to improper litter box...

I agree. It took him like a month to get used to having no fur on his belly, and he still doesn't have any new fur. The paws started with a small spot and its now a huge bald spot. To me, it's serious. He is obviously uncomfortable and I hate that he can't communicate with me about what...

I looked up the post-clipping alopecia. It does seem to be that and my vet just doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. I do.

Thanks so much for posting the link. I had reviewed that during my research as well as similar links from outside sites. Very helpful. I know it can be many things, just was hoping to hear from someone on the board that had gone through something similar with their cat. The vet blew off the...

Looking for some thoughts and ideas of what could be causing the hair loss on my cats front paws. Guinness had his teeth cleaned and 4 teeth extracted last August. In the fall of 2016, he started having issues with being ravenous all the time, and I took him to the vet in January/February and...

His first round of bloodwork was a CBC and T4 screen.  He also had a urinalysis done.  The second round of bloodwork was fPL.   The vet said he does not have diabetes or hyperthyroidism based on his labs and that all of those labs were pretty unimpressive and didn't give them reason to think he...

Hi there: I am new here, but am looking for some ideas as to what to do about my cats current situation. He is a male, neutered cat, approximately 12.5-13.5 years old.  I don't know his exact age, because he adopted me 10 years ago when he was a stray. In August 2016 he was went to the vet...
