I'm desperate right now, sobbing as I type this. I'm so worried about my cat.
He scratches around his neck so much that he tears into his own flesh and leaves big flopping holes in his neck. He's done this on both sides of his neck and behind his ears. I've taken him to get stitches multiple times, paid for so much medication, but nothing is working! And he keeps ripping open his stitches anyway! I asked the vet to remove his back claws, so he could at least not rip into himself anymore, but the vet wouldn't do it because he was already so heavily injured. They couldn't find any skin problems, I changed his food multiple times in case of allergies, I had him tested for Leukemia and HIV (both negative), and now I'm at a loss and I'm watching my cat slowly destroy himself and there is nothing I can do!
And now his hair is completely falling out and leaving bald spots. Like if I rub the top of his head, the hair comes out from the follicle, leaving nothing but skin.
Does anyone know what is going on with my cat? Why can't any of these vets figure it out? I don't want to lose my boy!
