I took our inside cat to the vet because she was scraching herself horribly, mostly around the neck but also in other places. At times she was scratching herself open. I thought it might be fleas as we weren't able to buy Advantage due to money issues last month, but I wasn't sure as it is so much around her neck and I had heard that when it is around the head and neck it could be allergies to food etc... The vet gave us a diagnosis of fleas and gave her a steroid shot. She is also on antibiotics for 20 days and we have now put the Advantage on. It is six days later and she looks worse than before!
Could it have been both fleas and allergies? I feel so bad for her!
I am going to call the vet on Monday, but is there some kind of food that anyone can recommend that I can buy tomorrow? She is currently eating Nutro & Nutro Max Classics, plus an occasional can of Friskies. She and all of the other cats have been fine with this food. She is the only one currently having a problem.
Thank you for any advice!
