My 1 Yr Old Cat Has Developed Itchy Flaky Spots. Too Much Licking & Spot Gets Infec/already Took Antibiotic?
Problem persists. I have limited experience with dogs and cats and realize this may be an allergy thing. Cat eating a different cat food for 5 days…no change in lesions. Cat will begin eating another untried food (Nutro brand). This poor former stray is a sweetie with personality and did not become a compulsive licker (pretty much all over his body in a bit of a random way) until about 3 mo. ago. I put ‘Revolution’ for cats on him Jan. 8, 2007. This is good stuff that kills fleas, prevents eggs from hatching and also goes a long way toward killing ear mites. I tried the Rev. because I first suspected flea-bite dermatitis. I have treated with cortisone cream, aloe, colloidal silver, antibiotic ointment and Panalog Ointment (prescrip. from vet that contains nystatin-neomycin sulfate-thiostrepton-triamcinolone acetonide usp). Punky (my cat) is also now wearing lovely home-made “pajamas” to hinder him from licking his worst spot….THE VET SAID ABSOLUTELY NO MORE LICKING

The vet must say if this is fungus, in which case maybe she needs other medication than antibiotic.
There is a spray called “bitter apple” or “bitter cherry”. They are non-toxic and may help your cat stop licking. Get it at the pet store.
