I have an 11 year old cat who is generally in poor health over the past year. She lost a lot of weight, was diagnosed with FIV and has had some other issues. Currently she is an ok weight and eating normally, but she has overgroomed and scratched herself raw. She literally leaves blood on places she sits and petting her is so sad because she is covered in scabs. We have been to the vet multiple times over the past 6 months and its just getting worse... Vet said fungal test was negative, bacterial test was negative but he still have some antibiotics, we treat regularly for fleas although she does get them sometimes and that makes it way worse. She has prednisone and it helps mildly but not much and not for long. She also has an antibiotic spray and a hydrocortisone spray from the vet but she hates both and its almost not worth the stress of giving them. I tried a few of the phermone products but she always left the room they were being used in... Her hair is also more sparce as well even in places she cant reach to lick or scratch.
She seems OK otherwise, shes friendly and occasionally goes outside to frolic but mostly sleeps inside. She doesnt seem extremely ill. The vet basically said IDK it could be an allergy to just about anything or a deeper health issue. I'm at a loss, has anyone else experience this?
