Poor little Monte has his little chin bacteria back, but his ears are looking fab. So i'm thinking that I just didn't take care of his chin right the first time. he has had ear problems forever, since he was a kitten. The dermatologist changed his food for 6 weeks and now she said I could go back to his other food which he didn't eat and so I finally found a food that he likes. He got a spot on his chin that was very itchy and the derm. said there was a lot of bacteria presnet, she was still thinking it was a food allergy. I was suppose to treat it twice a day for a week and then once a day for the second week. I think I was a little slacky. So now he has a bump and he is scratching like crazy. I shouldn't have been so lazy. Now i have to start over with him, darn it. Does anyone have a cat or cats with allergies, food or environmental?
