Default Well Rumble is going to the vet this week

He is epileptic and currently on diazepam 2x a day 5mg.
what the easy way to describe it that he gets the itches just like a human
does and he licks and scratches the itches
he licks the fur down to skin and when he scratches he digs till there is a
wound. All ready had all the allergy test it is caused by the epilepsy

Yes DepoMedrolit stops the itches and allows rumble to start healing again.
He gets its about 2 to 5 times a year

He jumped up in my lap a few minutes ago and what do I discovered he
is licking his fur off again in places. Time for another shot and a I
made my kitty go to the vet guilt trip. I better prepare :-)




When he licks the fur off, is there a sore or a wound underneath?
That's what my cat does and the vet thinks it's a "licky granuloma"
problem
caused by allergy or anxiety. Is the shot that your vet gives a steroid
called Depo Medrol?
