My 6 yr old Siamese mix Viola has been overgrooming herself. She is missing some hair on her back leg and now has some wounds on the inside and back of the same leg.
My vet thinks it's due to stress. I have a rather needy 11-month old kitten who she doesn't like but seems to be tolerating better. (Less hissing and growling).
I suggested it might be an allergy because she seems itchy. The vet gave me some antihistames. She seems calmer and it might be my imagination but the wounds seem to be healing.
What could she be allergic to? Should I try changing her food? She currently eats Proplan Salmon and rice wet and Purina One dry.
Any suggestions? If it's stress the vet suggested prozac. Should I do that? Would there be side effects?
