    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    He doesn't know. Technically he didn't personally wash it, his room mate did it for him. It smells strongly like flowers. So we don't know what was used, but it's definitely way different than what I use.

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    He never goes outside (Philadelphia, few woods, lots of cars...bad idea). I don't use lotions ever. None of my cats wear collars unless they're being taken to the vet or something. I'm taking a long leap here, but my BF's comforter was brought with him when he moved back in. He washed it in...

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    I've not put any treatment on him since the vet said he's clear of mites, fleas, and other parasites...I didn't want to try anything yet just in case it irritated him. There's nothing stressful or new. Even for X-mas holidays we didn't decorate or do anything out of laziness, and no family or...

    Oh yes, I use: http://www.tidycats.com/Products/Scoop/InstantAction I scoop it several times a day...I don't consider that cleaning though, that's why it confused me. I consider cleaning actually dumping and replacing the litter.

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    They have too many litter boxes to clean daily, so I do them once every three days (4 boxes/3 cats). Everything gets scrubbed down, the boxes never smell, each cat has their particular box they enjoy using. They never "look" or "smell" very dirty when I clean them, a faint smell at best. I don't...

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    I was using Fresh Step, moved to Tidy Cats, and for a small period of time I was letting the cats use the Ferrets' Yesterday's News litter. But for the most part, he's been using Tidy Cats since forever...I gave up on Yesterday's News cause he likes to pick the pellets out and play with them...

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    I never knew that. :o I'm starting to assume I can rule out food because since his bath he's drastically stopped itching and his wounds are actually closing up. With holidays and all he's not been on his meds for a while, so this is a good sign that there is something I can stop from irritating...

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    That's why I changed slowly and only changed it about 3 times since he started showing symptons, he stopped showing them on wet friskies so I stopped switching briefly. I am a firm believer in wet food over dry after we had a cat with a UT problem and went over all that literature and how cats...

    Switching from wet friskies to wet Royal Canin. Haven't tried adding supplements. Fed three times a day (before I go to work, after work, and before bed). Vet said he was clear of ringworm.

    I noticed after his bath he's reduced his itching by a lot. I also found him covered in dust from god knows where...I'm usually rather clean, I wonder where he found dust.

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    I live in the US, we do have central heating but it was not turned on during his first out break. North Eastern (Philly, PA). We had an oddly warm/cool fall so the AC and the heat were both off since about early September. We've kept the window open with a fan in it since the AC was turned off...

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    The cats are kept upstairs and they never go outside, ever. (Too many roads and cars and crazy nut jobs.) I stopped using air fresheners with the cats cause I know those can be irritating. After his original break out I started using pet safe products, that also seemed to have no effect. The...

    How Many Poops in a day?

    I found this to be true when I had the feral kittens from the yard and their mom. They were lean green pooping machines when they learned how to use the litter box. Mom used it a lot to since she'd been cleaning up after the kittens and producing their food. After they got a bit older they...

    Suggestions for a Cat with Eczema

    I'm not new here, but I can't seem to remember what my original information was. I tried retrieving it...anyway, not the point. Months back I took in a feral mom and her five babies from my backyard. (They've been adopted out and I kept one.) The one I kept is called Nicodemus. He's roughly...
