Since about a year ago one of my cats developed bald spots on it's back and at the beginning of the tail, It's getting worse with time but every now and then It shows some temporary improvements, seems a bit random to be honest. The vets already tried putting her on different fungal infection medications, antibiotics and did hormonal exams, those medications didn't work and the exams didn't accuse her of anything. I live in a apartment so my cats never go out, haven't seen excessive itching or scratching since this started, I don't think there was any ambient changes that would make an allergy be coherent.. Tried looking through this http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2141&aid=195 and the only thing that seems to fit is feline acquired symmetrical alopecia as the only symptom seems to be the hair loss. Currently It looks like this:

(those things look like black lesions on the skin but they're actually small patches of fur on the middle of the bald spot).
Basically, I'm in this tough spot right now, I don't want to leave this as It is but I'm still in college and really don't have much to spend, those medications and exams were very expensive and to make things worse my other cat just had to do a pyometra surgery. I've never tried asking for opinions about this on forums but the vets I've been going to seems to be quite clueless on what this. Anyone here already had to deal with something similar?
