Just before lockdown we adopted a pair of cats, brother and sister, 2 yo.
The girl cat, Wilma, has never truly settled with us.
For background: She prefers my DH who works away a lot and doesn’t really come that near me which I find difficult as our cats have always been more mine. Leaves me at a bit of a loss how to help her. She was definitely the man’s cat of the couple we adopted them from.
She’s always itchy, always over grooming, and has loads of bald spots, thinning fur, some actually sore areas that come and go.
I took her to the vet about a year ago, he suggested steroid injections and we tried a couple but they made no difference and going back every 2 weeks (aside from the ££) for a useless injection seemed pointless. He agreed and said hopefully she’d settle down.
She may have some kind of eczema/dermatitis, as well as possibly some ongoing pysch issues to do with moving. She may have some kind of allergies that we haven’t discovered properly yet.
She is due her annual booster soon and I’m kind of dreading the vet appointment. (My vets seem to specialise in lectures & I am considering moving vets) Is there any kind of alternative treatment we could try for a few weeks before I go to see if it helps? The booster appt can wait a little while as there is a window of time for getting it.
Just after any ideas thanks.
