My cat has been on Prednisolone for six years due to an allergy where he would itch so much he would get bare spots on his skin. About two years ago, he developed an open sore on a paw and it has gradually grown larger and now it is bright pink and quite puffed up, but not infected. I have been trying Derma Gel for one week now and it has not changed. He also has kidney disease, but no diabetes. He is around 12 years old. The vet told me that there is nothing that can be done. I would like to switch him off the Pred and put him on something else for his skin allergy. Any of you have something similar to this and have advice for me? Thanks!

Hi 
My cat Bugsy was scratching himself raw a month or so ago..... might been a little more.... He would Scratch himself so badly he would bleed....
I started to give him Krill Oil, a capsule a day (500mg) (piercing the capsule with a needle, and squeezing it over his food), and it stopped.
I just came back from his annual today, and his vet said it works amazing for allergies too - you might want to give it a try :nod:
The Brand I use is MegaRed, and can be bough anywhere
