I’m pretty new here, I hope I’m posting in the right place! One of my kitties, Violet, is extra sensitive to everything, we’ve been dealing with small rashes on and off since adopting her in August 2019. Since we’ve been on our stay home order the past few weeks though she has gotten the worst bought of hives since I’ve had her. She scratched them until they scabbed over and we had to bandage her head to prevent more scratching. Plus being congested and having runny eyes.
We were finally able to get her to the vet yesterday and he is also pretty confident it is some sort of allergy. She looks much better already after a being in bandages for a week and good regular cleanings. She’s now on antibiotics and anti-fungal medications for her skin as well.
Vet thinks food allergies , I think possibly litter allergies (we were using silica litter now changing to hypoallergenic paper). I’d like to change one thing at a time to try to narrow it down. I know changing the food will take 6+ weeks before we could see a difference. Does anyone know how long it would take to see a difference from changing litters? Any other thoughts/recommendations? I’m still very new to owning sphynxs and will take any advice I can get, thanks!
