Recently my boy Butch started aggressively chewing at his legs and paws. I became so alarmed I took him to the vet to be examined. The vet said he was either having an allergic reaction to something or it was a behavioral issue (or it could even be both). He has always washed his stomach to the point where it is bare of fur and covered with small rashes.
The vet gave him some antibiotics and prescribed a behavioral modification medicine that is a cream that dispenses from a pen. This is the third day I've given him this medication, which is suppose to calm him down and make it so he doesn't chew himself to pieces. So far he hasn't stopped, but it is only the third day. I'm really worried about him and don't really know what to do about his washing/chewing himself.
I wanted to post here and see if anyone else has experienced this problem and what you did to help your cat.
