My 12 yr. old cat has obsessive grooming disorder and wears a cloth collar so she can't do the kind of damage she was doing to herself before..
SHe has itchy skin.. NO fleas , they are totally indoors and she has been checked by the vet. I give her holistic supplements (Calms forte) at bedtime to calm her, and another calming solution liquid, but I don't know what to put on her skin.
The vet homeopath wants me to try a new homeopathic remedy, but so far nothing has cured her.
She licks and bites her skin and tears her fur out in places...
She scratches too.
My friend who has a similar cat, said to bathe her in Aveeno Oatmeal water, which would be very soothing... or order something similar to put on her body. Any ideas ?
I won't go the traditional meds route.. no steroids, no steroid oinments, never !
Thank you,
Susan
