I have a 2 year old cat named Lana is licking her hair off her thighs and her legs for seemingly no reason and I can’t figure out why she’s doing this.
I have a household of 11 cats, all indoors. A mix between raw diet, canned food of different varieties (usually friskies though) and kibbles. None of the other cats except Lana is exibiting this behavior. She is over-grooming certain areas of her body and pulling her hair out.
At first I thought it was fleas, ticks or mites so I bought a Seresto Collar for every cat in the household and treated them with flea drops but nothing changed with Lana.
I then took her to the vet and they tried Bravecto on her but that also didn’t do any good, it also didn’t help that she managed to lick the spot they applied it to so I’m unsure how effective it was.
They then decided it may be an autoimmune disorder and gave me Atopica and I’ve been treating her with that. It seemingly started to get better but tonight I found her seemingly a bit rash and red and licking and having a hard time walking… I’m a bit concerned.
What should I do next?
