Hello everyone:
Here I am again worried about my Lucas who is getting sicker and sicker everyday. Lucas has been too stressed since we moved to the new house and some days he seemed to be getting better. In fact, he was looking much better like two weeks ago and I was so happy, then he got sick again. He is all red and itchy, he has licked his belly raw, his back is hairless, I mean , every part of his body that he can reach with his mouth or paws, he has scratched and he keeps pulling his hair out. He looks terrible. I can't take a photo because it is too painful for me to share a pic of him in that condition.
Our last vet wanted me to start Lucas on prozac, but I went and got a second opinion and our new vet prescribed a Homeopatic remedy but it is so mild that it only helped for a little while, once we moved, it didn't work anymore.
I just wanted to ask how some of you have managed your kitties stress and anxiety, I just want to have an idea of what is the right thing to do. I don;t want to put Lucas on antidepressants, I need to know what other options are there so I can know just in case. I will of course go to the vet and ask him what to do, but if anyone here had similar experiences with their kitties and you can share, please do, I need help.
Thank you
Tammy
