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? |

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 "Wilbur Post" wrote in message ...

Well Rumble is going to the vet this week
How old is Rumble and when did you discover he was epileptic?
Diazepam is Valium (isn't it?). Do you give the pill orally or by putting it into his food? The more I read this board, the more I'm amazed at how our animals seem to suffer from the same ailments that people do, and how we suffer and worry when they suffer. Good luck. I hope he feels better soon.

It was exactly on his 3 birthday epilpisy shows up usually between cats 3 and 5 years old Diazepam is Valium (isn't it?). Do you give the pill orally or by putting it into his food? Yes it is daizepam is the generic form I give it to twice a day orally it has gottne to be a routine take s about 3 seconds to do one I get ahold of him if he sees me get the pill The hunt is on and so is the chase. Ever tried to catch a cat when it does not want to be caught. I have tried the food he eats around the pill parts the pill pocket he eats the pocket and spits the pill back out tried flavoring the pill he leaves the pill in places he knows I will find it he is way to smart for his own good it is grab the cat pop the pill give hime some loving and get the look of you a@@ from him The more I read this board, the more I'm amazed at how our animals seem to suffer from the same ailments that people do, and how we suffer and worry when they suffer. They are our child, our soul mates, our fur covered friends, our loved ones, OUR EQUALS any person that can't comprehend that is someone that I don't want to know or be around. I love each and every one past, present and future. When rumble had his seizure in front of me I PANICED after the seizure I grabbed him jumped in my car and drove a 20 minutes drive in 6 minutes I had 2 police officers chasing me when I came tires sqealing into the vet office. I ran intothe vets office faster than I have ever moved in my life I was in a ball of tears. It took the vet and the police to calm me down enough to tell them what happened. I kept telling my vet who is a dear friend and life long family friend. Please don't let him die on me and I am not putting him to sleep. My fiend had never seen me like this and thought someone had hurt my family and only rumble survived. The police were luckly animals lovers one a k9 unit they let me off with a warning and stayed here till we found out what was wrong We first had him on Phenobarbital but Rumble is allergic and was literally ripping his face off it almost killed him. Now I have to wory about his liver and kidneys and doing my best to keep him off a steriods other than the depo shot. Good luck. I hope he feels better soon. I hope so to THANK YOU "Matthew AKA NMR \( NO MORE RETAIL \)" 10 points a troll @linethetrollsup.com wrote in : 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.
