OT: Anyone ever have a cat with allergies?
Since a lot of us here seem to have cats, I thought I'd try asking here.
I took in a cat last fall that was a stray, had it doctored up. I initially noticed that he had trouble eating as though his teeth were sore. The doctor thought it was a result of poor nutrition. I fed him lots of wet food and before long he was eating some dry food too. After 3 months his skin started to break out and he was constantly licking and scratching. I took him to the vet and they said he has some sort of allergies. He's been wearing this cone on his head for a month now. The latest round of antibiotics seem to have him feeling better. They showed me his gums and said it is a result of some sort of allergies.
Anyone ever had this problem? I hate this. I bought all stainless steel bowls - they said it could be plastic or ceramic allergies. I bought allergy prescription cat food.
