All last winter I battled what I assumed was a food allergy with one of my cats. In fact, that's how I found this site, searching for help. She would scratch herself completly raw all around her face and neck. I can't even count the number of steroid shots & pills that she took. Finally...
You can't get the Natural Balance Vennison & Green Pea anymore. It went by the wayside in one of the recalls. Natural Balance are coming out with a Duck & Green Pea that they tell me will be on the market early Sept. I haven't been to PetCo to see if they are carrying it yet. I finally...
No, I'm not the same Gizmo, but I did get the idea of the NL from her. I would consider a homemade diet if you could give me a good suggestion. I really wondered if the vennison was helping of not since she never did seem to get well while eating it.
In August my 5 yr old cat Gizmo began having this crusty, itchy stuff all over her head & neck. The vet treated it with Depomedrol injections and pills. It would sometimes get a bit better, but never go away. In October he took a biopsy and sent it to the state vet school. They determined...
Gizmocat, I'm curious what kind of ointment are you did you use? I don't know if you remember me from a previous post, but my Gizmo is going through this supposed alergy thing. The vet was first treating her for a fungus. It would not go away and just kept getting worse. He finally took a...
I did stop feeding her the Iams as well as the Friskies canned. I first got Purina One Chicken & Rice. They all seemed to love it. But I finally got to a Petco and bought Natural Balance vennison & green pea dry and canned. She doesn't eat the dry very good and I am still having to add a bit...
My Gizmo cat is also going through this. It is mostly on her head/neck/chin area. She just scratches and scratches, until it's raw and bleeding. The vet first thought it was a fungus, he's given her a couple of shots and then I have been trying to get pills down her but it just won't go away...
I do need to take him to the vet. He doesn't sneeze at all and his eyes look just fine. I've hundreds of cats in my lifetime and I don't ever remember hearing one cough like he does. And otherwise he acts just normal. I can't even imagine trying to give him any medication either. I have to...
Right before Christmas my 4 yr old nuetered indoor/outdoor male cat seemed to loose his voice. He seemed to get it back and then last week I noticed that he seemed to be having trouble again. Then I noticed that he was wheezing and has a real "barky" cough. I've never seen him vomit, so I...
