Hi everyone.
I'm really needing some serious advice.
I recieved a family members cat two years ago because of a 'skin allergy'. She is a female tabby who is 15 years old. For the last 5 Years she has compulsively eaten her fur and flesh till she bleeds and smells really bad.
I took her to many different vets, but none knew why she was doing this. I have bought many rounds of anti biotics but they never seems to do much, as she would eat herself compulsively throughout the treatment. She permanently lives with an e collar except when eating. She has figured out ways to still eat her legs aNd arms while wearing the collar.
Three days ago she began pooping black crap all over the floor. She has had 4 black poops. With very runny and smelly consistently. Her diet hasn't changed.
What should I do? Previous owner wants to put her down, but I'm a believer in staying by your pet.
