He's has very, very runny BM since I brought him in last week..not sure how long it's been going on since he lived outside.. It's sometimes very runny but thick at the same time with mucus in it.
He has also since months before I brought him inside had patches of skin in which were covered with shinny red scabs that he obsessively licks. These are on his mid-lower back and lower back to the tail area. I've diagnosed him with having feline miliary dermatitis as the pictures and symptoms fit.
Especially the one below is exactly what it looks like.
I also noticed upon giving him both 100% chicken wet food and 100% chicken freeze dried treats he promptly vomited. I'm thinking he has a food allergy here? Yet the entire time he was outside I fed him Meow mix (Yes I know how bad that is, but I can't afford to feed the strays the same as my indoor cats) which has chicken by product meal listed as the 3rd ingredient. I'm in the process right now trying to ween him of the meow mix and get him fully on Blue Buffalo wilderness..along with adding in wet foods..not sure if that's a good idea with the diarrhea?
I'm not sure what to do here for either one of these issues..
