Our 12 year old neutered female cat has had a bare patch on her back ,just above her tail for months now .It started off as a couple of sore/bleeding spots .
Vet says not insect or flea bites ,not scratches but excema or overgrooming .Cat is on second lot of antibiotics ,3 week course this time .Blood tests are all fine .
I'm surprised vet hasn't given a steriod injection yet ,also surprised by advice to swab with salt water . There is no sign of infection and I can't help thinking that the salt will dry the skin and make it itchier .
Has anyone got any ideas to help her get better ?
