Hello, I haven't had much time to post here lately but I hope to soon.
I have a 10 year old female cat that I've been fostering for about 2 months. She has terrible allergies that seem to be getting worse since I brought her home. She has been wearing an e collar for about 2 weeks but still manages to lick her stomach and back legs until they are raw and bleeding. There was also a spot on her back which was starting to clear up and tonight I noticed that it's looking raw again. Now I know she isn't capable of licking there so I'm really confused
She's on Medical Hypo food and her vet has her on an antibiotic to help with any infection that she might get through licking. I'm washing her bedding weekly and since she's got the cone on, I try and "sponge bath" her to help keep her clean.
Is it possible that she is allergic to her kitty litter? I am using a new product called Feline Fresh which is a clumping litter made of pine shreddings. Is there a better litter for a kitty with allergies?
