I have animals all my life and i have never seen anything like this before. I started crying on the way to the vets. I have felt so guilty not taken him sooner as he was a rescue and was in a terrible state when we got him. He wasnt litter trained and had pooh all over him. He has such a serious face but to me is a right baby. Everybody in the village knows Guinness. jane |

I know how you feel but you got him the help he needed and you will have the patience to help him get all the treatment to make him feel better- not everyone has that! Allergies are odd things and are really had to spot but they can be treated. All the best for you and Guinness |

Jane, just a thought but you don't use these horrid shake n vac or (can't think of the name) sprays that eradicate pet/cooking smells . . fabreze . . . they are just so full of chemicals I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of the pets as well as their scents! Other than that, if it's an allergy you need to consider everything - even the detergent you wash your clothes in!! I hope you get to the bottom of Guinness' allergy - being an allergic type myself I know how miserable it can be. Hugs to you both. |

sorry to hear that his problem was not as straightforward as first diagnosed. Hope the new treatment works for him. Fingers crossed. |

Good news! Let's hope Guinness continues to improve Jane. It can't be nice for him and obviously it is a dreadful worry for you. |

My cat has had bouts of 'alopecia' if that's tha kind of thing it is? many times throughout her life. Never knew what it was but I used mite lotion on her ears and put a collar on, changed her diet, and that cleared it up. Pretty sure it was the dried food that triggered it(good quality as well, well known brand), cos she is now off it, but whenever she has just a tad (steals it from my other cat) it starts up again. Her coat also seems to get dull on this food (but she HAS just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism so that's another thing completely. Looking into best treatment on that now). |

P.S: My angel has a collar on too, just getting over anal gland problem, so I'm spoiling her with turkey broth etc. P.P.S: Make sure ur little un has a way of getting to her water bowl whenever he wants as he can't tell you when he is thirsty. Glad he's getting better, keep up the TLC! |
