Our seal Tabby Point Birman has a skin problem
I bought a seal tabby point Birman 3year old queen from a breeder
recently,on the active breeding list with the intention to breed from her...But since bringing her home we have found that she has started developing little patches of what looks like eczma,all over her body.I tried to find out what it might be by ringing the breeder to ask if she had ever had this problem with her before this incident,but all the breeder could tell me was that she thought it might be an allergic reaction to flea's,or central heating.I took the advice and immediately went through every cat in our house with a fine tooth comb,but discovered no flea's or flea refuse(flea excriment) on any of the cats,so It can't be that;&I have started to allow her to spend the majority of her time either outside,&/or, I have also given over the new extension we had built for my partner to her,so that she has an area where she can go away from the central heating,to try and resolve the issue(I have turned the central heating off in there,& there is no carpet to allow even potential for flea's egg's to hatch& infest any of the cats)....but it has made no difference at all to her.If anything,it is getting worse!!!( We have 3Birmans,2Ragdolls & an 18year old pensioner moggie,none of whom has suffered from anything remotely similar to this afliction. When you look @ the crusts/scabs & feel it by probing,it feels like little scabs that she simply cant leave alone because they are obviously aggrivating her.I have been combing her regularly every day in an attempt to try & stop them spreading & aleviate the itchyness for her..& although it is not terrible presently,I am only too aware that it casn/will inflame again & spread all over her body as it did before.When I do this,she is more than happy to allow me to comb out the little scabs as they form so that they don't irritate her into sratching herself raw~although it is a stop-Gap,it doesn't answer the problem,which is what is wrong with her & how can I best treat her for it to stop it coming back?If anyone out there can relate to what I am saying and advise me,I would be ever so grateful to you.I really feel for her & my usual vet is also my neighbor &she is in Australia for 4weeks,so any advice would be more than gratefuly accepted.I would rather stick to my own vet if possible,but will take her to any vet if I have to, & cant find an answer,but this is just a last ditch attempt to try & treat her for it, than take her to someone I don't know.(I am agrophobic!).Many thanks to anyone that might be able to help me too.This is the 1st time I have ever seen a service like this,so it will be interesting to see if anyone does ever answer your questions.It opens a whole new world for me If it does...hope to hear from some of you soon.Thank you for any assisitance if you can help out on this one..sheelagh |
