Harley is our new cat. We adopted him from Petsmart about 3 weeks ago. Our local shelter places their cats at this Petsmart. I do not know how long Harley was at Petsmart but I do know he was brought into the shelter in February. I know at Petsmart he was eating Authority, but I have no idea about the shelter.
Harley is very shy right now so it's just been in the last week that I have truly spent quality time with him (he hid under the bed 90% of the first 2 weeks)
I realize he is itching--In front of both ears. I looked in his ears today and besides alittle ear wax (hubby and I do plan to use the ear wash tomorrow) they seem fine. On the right side you can definitely see that the hair is thinning in front of the ear, between the ear and his eye--and on closer inspection you can see it on the left side.
If this was a food allergy would it only present itself in one place? If so, where do I begin on figuring out what the allergy is to. If not, what could it be?
He is now eating a mix of authority and nutro max cat dry. As well as nutro Max cat wet in the evenings (about 1.75 oz)
**Other cat is having no itching issues.
Thanks
Leslie
