He is on Urinary So dry food.Originally Posted by LDG
It's certainly worth a try. With the Royal Canin dry, he doesn't need the wet. If he misses his wet food, try giving him chicken baby food with a little water mixed in.
Also, instead of the sock, maybe try an ace bandage. This you might be able to get up around the back of his ears, then down around his neck. Make sure it's not too tight - and use the one that attaches with Velcro instead of the little clips.
Is he on the Royal Canin hypoallergenic food? If he's on the Royal Canin Urinary Tract Health food, maybe it's something in there. I don't know what the difference is because none of our kitties have had allergies, so I haven't had to research it. But I do know that head and neck scratching is very often a sign of food allergies.
Can you search for a cat specialist - or a cat nutritionist - in your area? I really think you need someone to work with you on figuring out if this is caused by an allergy, which it very likely is.

But I also feed him wet fancy feast cat food. Anyhow, who knows if it's even food allergy. Vet told me he might be self-mutilating because he is stressed out. And this cat stresses out a lot. Maybe he is like one of those people that cut themselves. My cat is a freak. As for searching for a specialist, considering how much vet visits cost, I think I am going to wait and see how he is doing. I switched his old fancy feast to their new line that has greens in it. If that doesn't help I will try some other wet food. The problem is he won't eat the premium food. He only likes chunky styles, not pate.
