Asked by: Marla W. (marlawo) 7 months ago

I have 6 cats tigger is the only one that is doing this. I have had him on a goose and pea diet for 2 months no change. Had a skin scraping it was good. Had blood work nothing there. Gave him 2 different kinds of baths no luck. Did flea treatment no luck. He was on allergy mediation for 10 day nothing except foaming of the month he didn't like that at all. He has now lost 2 lbs. What else can I do. Any help would be appreciated.

You've done all the right things so far by taking him to the vet. It sounds like a behavioral problem (nervous biting and scratching for whatever reason). I personally would recommend "Rescue Remedy for Pets", a homeopathic and safe remedy that helps calm stressed pets.

I would continue talking with your vet. Even if it is a behavioral problem, he or she will probably have some suggestions.
I am no professional at all, but I would watch your other cats too, since it seems like you and your vet don't know the exact cause of your cat's scratching. It would be important to establish if it is contagious or not.
Talking to your vet is probably the best thing to do. :)
