Hi Everyone,
Our cat Homer, a american shorthair, started developing hotspots a month or so ago. They are on the inside of his legs, the worst are on the inside of his thighs on his back legs. We have tried putting cream on them but he just licks it off, tried to put bandages but those last about 30 seconds, we've tried switching him to a poultry and grain free food but that hasn't seem to have worked either. It doesn't appear to be fleas and there hasn't been any changes to our home or anything like that.
We're not sure what to do, pretty close to putting him in a cone but those things look like torture. The pet store here keeps suggesting colloidal silver but from what I've read about it the stuff is just snake oil and I'm not keep about giving it to him.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
