hey all, especially my learned Cat People,
Joe has some kind of rash and he's ripping the fur off of his little ears. They're scabbed. Eggative-nay on the ear mites...I checked his ears and they are fine. He's licking himself a LOT , which i recall my vet saying that indicated that cats were very itchy. Not scratchy, just itchy.
So...I'm taking him to the vet this am, hoping that he will choose against depositing anything in his carrier that I would rather not clean up.A kvestion- anyone ever have a vet tell them to give the kitty Benadryl for peds and just split the dose to a very small one? i thought I had remmebered that.
A little more info- he now goes ourside but for his previous 4 and 1/2 years was not allowed to because of houses on busy roads. I don waanna no keety pancake-uh. WE use Frontline on them AND i checked for fleas so we're cool there. So, no fleas...and Mel doesn't seem to have what he has so it's clearly not contagious...
Could this be any allergy? If so, what to do what to do?
Oh crap- gotta leave fer the vet.
He's hiding, that little runt...I oughhhhtta...Thanks and mroww in advance
Karen
