I thought I would post a quick update.  We have now given the cats three baths (third last night).  I'm THRILLED to report that Bella has NO new scabs or lesions on her!  However, the itching is still there.  The fact that the lesions are gone is huge though.  I'm hopeful that the itching will...

Thank you so much!  This has been so stressful on me.  It's one thing to have to shell out all this money, and then not to have answers.  UGH.. just horrible.  I tend to have a bit of OCD as well, so trying to find answers for her/them is just consuming me at times.  Praying the dip helps!

Thank you about Bella.  Unfortunately, she doesn't look like that anymore.  So sad.  I loved her long fur! Very interesting on the mast cell tumor.  I'm fairly sure that's not the case though as she goes from having nothing basically to the raw spots.  No raised tumor-like things first.  I do...

I absolutely wonder if it could be allergies.  The fact that she didn't have this until we got her, makes me think it is some kind of allergy!  I mean she as a barn cat prior to this.  Doesn't make sense that the demodicosis would surface once she came to me.  :(  I am using cheap wal-mart...

No, she hasn't.  It's never been mentioned either until today saying that she may be FIV or FeLV positive since she has the issue to begin with.  She said it doesn't typically show in healthy cats.  :(  Just lovely.

I just got back from a fourth vet for my cat whom is itching non-stop and has loss of hair, and scabs on her.  She is fairly certain that it's demodicosis, and I am to bath both of my cats weekly for four weeks.  The bath does not sound fun, but I am happy to hopefully at least have some...

I got back from a FOURTH vet.  She suspects demodicosis.  Treating it doesn't sound bad, but the fact that she has it to begin with doesn't sound very good.  I am to treat both cats with a bath, and a dip.  Praying it helps!

I thought I would post a couple pictures of Bella.  The picture on the left is the first night we got her.  The one on the right was taken this weekend.  I know it's hard to tell, but she has like NONE of that fluff anymore.  She doesn't even look like a long hair cat anymore.  You can kind of...

Thank you.  Ringworm has been mentioned, but the fact that the dog and the other cat have no lesions, nor any of us...makes it also unlikely.  I'm really leaning toward mange or some kind of mite right now.  I have a call into the vet again, to say they are not on her abdomen, and I also made an...

She was a barn cat.  She had no fleas when she came to me in January (and none since). She's also had two months of Revolution.  I and the vets are fairly positive it's not fleas.  Thank you though.

I have shared a longer thread on the history of my two cats are itching ALL THE TIME.  I/we ruled out mange because only one has the lesions / scabs on her.  My questions is - can you have mange without the lesions and scabs?  I have two very very itchy cats.  One has scabs on her.  Started on...

She didn't have anything wrong with her neck until after she came to me, and we treated her with the mites.  I'm nearly positive it has nothing to do with fleas.  She also didn't have any fleas when she came to me either.  The ear mites were very bad though. I am feeding them 4health grain...

I'm a newbie to your site, and glad I have found fellow cat-owners!  I am having some mystery itching going on with my cats.  The history is that I rescued a barn cat in JANUARY.  From day one, she was itchy, and also had a very bad case of ear mites.  I treated her for like 6 weeks with the ear...
