Hi. My cat has been having some problems, been to two vets and nothing is helping. Appreciate if anyone who had this problem, could help out.
- First sign was blood on the floor, discovered he pulled the hair and licked his paw bloody. Applied iodine to disinfect
- Saw first vet, given amoxycillin tablet, baneocin powder. Was unsuccessful in feeding amoxycillin tablet as he would try his best to spit it out.
- As he managed to escape the cone of shame a few times, he licked his paws bloody again, I decided to see 2nd vet.
- 2nd vet gave injection of Convenia and prednisone, told to apply fraximine on foot. Did tape test and fungal culture test.
- He managed to lick his paws bloody again, and I found new rashes on his inner thigh. I applied fraximine on them, they continued to spread to a larger area over the next few days. They looked like pimples/acne.
- I tried to use chlorhexidine to soak his paw, did not seem to improve much. I used it on his chin acne, seemed to have improvements.
- Noticed fur in another paw have turned brown, seems like there are signs of infection spreading to the other paw.
- Vet reviewed one week later and said its suspected to be cocci with a bit of yeast although fungal cultures results were negative. Given one shot of Chlorpheniramine. Given a MiconaHex+Triz shampoo to wash his body twice a week for two weeks, Epi-otic Skin and ear cleanser to clean his paw daily, and Dermotic ear & skin suspension to apply to the paw.
- Instructed to give children’s liquid Zyrtec twice a day for a week then once a day, to stop fraximine for the paw.
- No signs of recovery so far 5 weeks into treatment. So I stopped the demotic lotions. And have just used the shampoo to spot apply the area, sit for ten minutes, clean it, then apply coconut oil and used silver spray for the areas. Noticed very VERY slow improvements.
- Bought a liquid bandage spray and pet allergy supplements to try. Improved some more, but by now it had spread to two other paws. My latest method is to spot apply with the shampoo, let it sit for ten minutes, clean with warm water, apply silver spray, apply liquid bandage.
- The first paw's condition is slowly improving, meaning less brown discharge, but still there. But the other two paws look bad now.
- He still has chin acne and is possibly aggravated by the fact he had been living in the cone of shame since the problem started. He also has brown discharge on his nose bridge...
- I've changed his food to avoid possible allergens like grains, chicken, turkey, salmon. Nothing is helping to get rid of this persistent problem. I've spend equivalent of £250 on vets and it didnt help.
