Hi all,
it’s been a while and kitty has been doing well aside from skin issues unfortunately we are going to the vets now and through different solutions as it appears random. Kitty has a mix of raw and dry skin patches. We were prescribed a high concentration skin supplement now that does help with the dryness, however not with the raw skin. The raw skin is caused by overgrooming, but we are unable to pinpoint what exactly causes it as it comes and goes - they heal relatively quickly. It is concentrated around his legs, most often front but sometimes hind too. He also goes at his paws but his legs suffer from rawness.
Things we have tried:
Change in food - cutting things out etc.
Environmental enrichment and more play
Feliway
Things we haven’t tried:
Changing the litter - this is my next suspect as we’ve now discovered our fav litter appears to have changed and is more dusty
We have a vets appt. due in a couple of weeks time but we’ll bring it forward as clearly the supplement doesn’t help. He discussed hypoallergenic diet trials and finally a biopsy.
It would be really good to hear whether others have experienced anything like this! Otherwise he is a spunky young boy, active and eating well. He is 9 months now FYI.
