My boy is finally resting. All his stuff is healing up and he’s doing a lot better.

He got the shot and he’s doing much better. Crashed out on the bed today and slept for a while and then he got up and started romping around with his sister.

Got an appointment with the vet bright and early she’s going to give him a Depo shot.

My cat gets those a lot. Usually he scratched himself or his sister scratched him it’s usually from dry skin or an allergy of some kind.

Well the chamomile tea didn't stop him from licking and chewing on himself so time to try something else.

Well I just swabbed some on his paws and he looked at me kind of funny, then he started licking them. I don't have normal cats. He stopped licking after a moment and then ran and hid. He's now laying under the comforter on my bed. I'll keep an eye on him and see how it goes.

I just brewed some chamomile tea. Letting it cool and then I'll give it a try. Right now Butch is romping all over the place playing making little cat noises. Maybe that's a good sign.

Thanks, I'll try that.

What are the name of the bitter tasting medicines?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think it was the food. My apologies, I forgot to mention this. I had started to transition them on to another food (Purina Beyond Grain Free) about 2 weeks ago. I treated the situation like a math problem, trying to figure out what "x" was. They've been using...

Recently my boy Butch started aggressively chewing at his legs and paws. I became so alarmed I took him to the vet to be examined. The vet said he was either having an allergic reaction to something or it was a behavioral issue (or it could even be both). He has always washed his stomach to the...

A couple days ago I took my cats to the vets to get them some Depo shots and a resupply of Revolution. The Depo was for scabs and their itching which the vet said was seasonal allergies. He checked my cats teeth and ears and said they were good, but both my cats still shake their heads a lot...

Well this litter was a bust. I had to go to work, but when I came home I found they had used their litter boxes. The bust came when I tried scooping the litter - it does not clump very well and pieces crumble everywhere, which makes it impossible to find them because it's all wheat colored! For...

duckpond, thanks for that info. We'll see how it goes with this sWheat stuff. At least at Chowhound they have a policy that if you buy a product from them and it doesn't work out you can bring it back for a full refund.

Took my cats to the vet because they were itching a lot and poor Butch had a bunch of scabs along his back and under his tail. After examining the cats the vet said he saw no signs of fleas so he concluded it must be allergies of some kind. He gave each of them some Revolution and a shot of...

I don't want to harm the kids if I can help it, so if the peppermint is going to be more of an issue than the eucalyptus then I might just stick with the eucalyptus (or check out some other ones, providing they're safe). I had ordered two diffusers along with some essential oils, but something...

I have had eucalyptus in shot glasses placed up near the ceiling on a rafter for a while now and I've never noticed any ill effects on the cats. That's why I thought I would try something else, namely peppermint, since I've read that is a real deterrent against creepy crawlies. The shot glasses...

I know that certain essential oils can help deter bugs and since I live in a basement I want to be able to use them. I was going to use a couple oil diffusers until I found out that these could cause harm to my furry kids. But now I'm wondering, can I use these same oils in a shot glass? I...

Trying to give them pills was a nightmare so I'm glad this method is finally working.

I wish we could, but for right now we have no other options.
