Update on my cat.

Hi everyone,
Thank you all for the replies to my earlier post,and your help.
Well,we saw a different vet and he agrees that it looks very much like an allergy,so he gave us some cream to put on the sore spots,and he does'nt have to wear a collar which is great news as he can stay at home with us We have to take him back this Friday when the vet will start him on a course of Steroids,which hopefully will stop the itching,which in turn should stop the overlicking.I know steroids are a bit of a risk but my poor cat could not go on like this,and we(the vet & us)think the advantages will outweigh the risks attached.So here's hoping! Thanks again,Judo.

Thats good news Judo! Hope it goes well!
(btw have you seen Dogwebs sister site for cats? www.catpages.co.uk )

thats great hes getting better - my eldest cat used to have really bad allergies and he was on and off steriods - now he hasn't been on them for a few years - his skin used to be red raw it was a shame although hes all better now


his itching will stop really fast with the medications

Great news Judo. It must have been driving poor Sam mad as well, I am sure using the steroids will be fine, at least it will give him a chance to recover

that is great news

Fab news

Aww great news

This is such good news...Your little cat will be feeling much better now...
