Hi, haven't been on list much lately but I wanted to chime in about the soft paws. I have an itchy boy here, (Scooter, food allergies) and I still have to e-collar him even with the soft-paws on his back feet. If I take the collar off he kicks his head right open. Also, he likes to chew the caps off. I am so against declawing, but might be desperate enough to have a rear-declaw done on him someday if I can't figure out what's making him itch... Elizabeth, I'm glad that Phelix's eye is going to be ok, and I hope the Benadryl will help him again. And I hope you get some rain to ease your breathing too (although the burst of energy from the pred sounds nice!)
Take care, Beth On 6/5/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
That's a fairly typical antibiotic/steroid eye ointment. Sounds logical to me. I have an itchy boy here too, he digs bleeding sores all over his body. It's not bad yet this year, we are hoping it wont flare up as more plants begin to bloom in summer. I'm considering soft paws for his back paws, so he can't do so much self-damage this year if it does flare up. The problem is that he is very independent, and I will probably have to take him to the vet to get them "installed" as he's not the cat to try to mess with if it's not his idea to be messed with (and I have the scars to prove it).
