My cat has been having skin problems on her neck. Help?
Taylor Gauthreaux asked:
I have been mysteriously finding irritated dime-sized patches of skin on my cat, Aliyah’s, neck. It’s little spots where there is no longer any fur, and they are very red and sometimes bleeding a little. She had about three of them a week ago, but they started heeling and now just look like pale scars, but today i discovered that she has another on her neck now. I don’t know what’s happening and can’t afford to take my poor kitty to the vet. Any suggestions on whats wrong?

WHITE CAT WITH SKIN PROBLEMS, ANY SUGGESTIONS?
merryellen79 asked:
I have an outdoor white female cat, she has black like dirt in and around her ears (mites?) and they looked chewed up and then around her eyes she has hair missing, and it all happened just when it started getting cold out, she lives in our garage and has all her shots and is also fixed. I am wondering if mites would cause this?? and is there over the counter stuff?

My boyfriend’s mom recently got 2 kittens from a lady who was overwhelmed with litters. Theywere outdoor kittens, since we got them they were only outside once and were under constant supervision. I noticed a few days ago that one of the kittens had a bit of fur behind his left ear matted down. We didnt think much of it, maybe it got wet or they were playing and got a little too frisky. But a days went on and he lost some hair, in a circular pattern and we noticed some bleeding in the middle of the circle. I cut the fur and saw a scab. We thought maybe it was ringworm and the scab was from scratching, but soon we noticed a deep, but small (in diameter) hole. Our treatment (given by myself a freshman in Pre-Vet and an RN.. not exactly the best diagnostic team for a kitten, Im aware) has been anti-fungul cream on the bare skin and iodine on the hole.
As far as his spirit goes, he is still really playful and loveable. Were just playing the waiting game to go the vet due to $ reasons.

Cat with skin problem help?
xthecassbeex asked:
Hi, my cat has a skin problem around its neck and it keeps scratching the scabs off so the wounds don’t have time enough to heal up properly, and the vets don’t know what’s wrong with his skin. Cream got from the vet’s has been tried but with no effect. Does anyone have any ideas on what methods I could try to stop the itching?
Thanks
I am also looking for ideas to stop him from scratching too.

Has anyone used Stimmune for their cat’s skin problems?
Sandy in Ohio asked:
Our cat chews/licks his fur off. We’ve tried various cat foods and stay away from food with corn, wheat, soy. He is allergic to chicken. Just bought Blue Buffalo Limited Ingredient with turkey. He’s still munching on his legs. We’ve been to the dermatologist and have given him liquid medicine for “dust mites” and even switched to Feline Pine litter. We don’t know what else to do. I just read about Stimmune for cat allergies. Has anyone tried this product? Any other suggestions would be welcome. Thank you, everyone.

Suggestions for my cats skin problems?
Allyson asked:
I’ve had my cat for 3 and 1/2 years now (her whole life, she’s 3 and 1/2) and she’s never had any skin problems until recently. She licks her front arms until there is hardly any fur anymore. She also does this to her hind legs and a small part on her stomach, but minimally. Also, she’ll scratch the backs of her ears until there is no more fur, and occasionally small sores. I know it’s not mites or fleas, and I’m pretty positive it’s not a food allergy because she eats nothing but California Natural and EVO. (She’s a very spoiled little girl.) I’ve tried putting bitter apple on the spots to stop the licking, but to no avail.

I went to the pet store today and got the Avoderm Oatmeal shampoo for cats and dogs to see if it would improve anything. Also, a spray that is specially designed for allergic dermatitis in cats and dogs. If these things don’t work in two weeks or so, I’m going to take her to the vet, but I wanted to exercise all of my options before that.
I’m wondering if anyone else has had a problem similar to this and if so, what did you do so your cat (or dog even) would stop licking the fur away?
What should I do for my cats skin problems?
tarala7 asked:
My cat licks and bites his back constantly and it causes him to have scabs. When they start to heal they must itch because he will bite and lick them, therefore they never have a chance to heal. I’ve tried to put neosporin on them and I’ve even bought special food and treats that are made for skin health. Still I have no luck. What should I do?
