I hope that one or more of the readers have either gone through a similar outer fugal on their cat or know of a friends cat and will be able to help.
Hairy my cat is about 8 year old male that I adopted from a city shelter when he was about 1½ years old.
After 5 months and over $800 my Veterinarian has no idea what Hairy has contracted? My Veterinarian took lots of pictures and visited a Dog and Cat Dermatologist Convention where I would imagine that other Veterinarians would have also taken a look.
I have used this Veterinarian for the past 15 years as my last cat died of old age at 23 years of age. His wife is trained Veterinarian Assistant and both his children are attending post graduate Veterinarian Studies.
It seems like a blister breaks the skin, the red marks on the following pictures, then it crusts over with a medium chocolate brown colour. This crust is dry and when removed takes the skin with it.
Ist visit to the vet, his temperature was 1 degree above normal and 5 blood samples were taken. I was given some small white pills looks like Retocumzete or Detocumzete (cannot read much of his writing on the Invoice) and Ofloxacin or Ofamox (a white liquid to paste over the brown-crisp stuff and was to rub it in and it would help remove the brown-crisp.
The small white pills or the onset to this illness took his appetite away and he lost about 3 pounds from 23 lbs to about 20lbs.
2nd visit (2 weeks later) to the vet, he just refilled the Ofloxacin or Ofamox. oh yes this is when the brown-crisp moved down to his nose. I was told not to use the Ofloxacin or Ofamox on his nose.
3rd visit (2 weeks later) to the vet, he prescribed some that looks like Nevoluin large orange pills and more Ofloxacin or Ofamox. The first couple of nights the cat walked around like a drunken sailor. He would hide and not come out even to eat, he basically quit eating anything at all. These pills lasted 20 days and he further dropped his weight an other 4-5 pounds. Now his bones stick out of his hair skin.
4th visit I asked if they had found out what it was that the cat had. The Vet said he still did not know. I walked out and havenâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t been back.
I rubbed Webberâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s Vitamin E Ointment on his nose and removed the crisp-brown stuff that had soften up … and it work but came back later and I still run the Vit-E on his nose .. I rubbed it on both ears, and it cleared up the one ear but did nothing for the other ear.
Pictures can be seen on this page I put up on the Internet. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
And bless those who put up this site.
