my 12 year old cat has excessive itching and licking.it started with a flea bite back in 2017 and I was moving. I thought perhaps much anxiety. he was treated with prednisolone. all seemed okay a year later still excessive. did food panel, blood test all was well.put him on prozac, hydrolyzed protein.. in 2018 helped a little. then past year, still scabs from itching but also his excessive licking in groin area of leg leads to a type of uncontrollable loss of motor control. he falls over while doing the licking his body gets stiff and he shakes then he is fine after 10 seconds or so.. it began happening once a day lately . he eats very well, sleeps most of the day...vets do not know, been trying to get a video but it happens so quick. its not a seizure like you see on videos and fhs sites. I have him on prednisolone its been a week and immediately after starting it . he's all better.. im supposed to wean him off this week. its only a 2 week prescription. my question is has anyone experienced this and if I take off prednisolone will everything come back.. or does it fix. will be talking to the vet. I have read up on prednisolone and other pills. im not a pill person forever to be on and the side affects?and was hoping other alternatives. he does not go outside. feed best foods. the whole thing is mind boggling.
