There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Try a couple flea treatments to at least rule out that it’s not fleas. We had a big boy cat, Pouncey, and he has some scabs but we never found fleas…the vet said he was grooming and catching and swallowing the fleas and turned out he was allergic to fleas! Even one bite sent his whole body in overdrive.
*easy thing to try* get some liquid children’s Benedryl and a needless syringe and give him some itch relief. CBD oil helps a lot too. Your gonna have to hold and squirt in their mouth but have a good treat ready and the kitty should be ok.
Hopefully CBD and benedryl should help their stress and anxiety over itching.
Take some heavy moistureiser, or aloe and put on the scabs. They could be extra itchy just from healing and possibly dry skin.
I hope these ideas help…keep us updated on if this works or not.
We had a dog with same symptoms…he had fleas AND a skin fungal infection so once we did the 2 treatments h was better…he didn’t really show fleas either but all it took was one bite and his skin would be angry and inflamed.
What’s your environment? This happened in Seattle, Washington, USA and it’s very wet and foggy and drab so the constant damp made him get a fungal infection.
