Yes, it was two tablets a day as I remember. She wasn't on then
long....maybe two weeks. But it all cleared up beautifully. She had
allergy issues so bad there were times when she was just raw all over. I
am pretty sure it was prednisone or other steroid meds. My vet is in
southern Illinois if that helps.

Hi Carolyn,
Was the pred given in tablet form? I haven’t had to use any steroids
on any animal so far.
Thanks,
Lance

Lance, My Bell had the same condition. She was an older cat and not
FELV+. I tried the steroid shots several times. It would clear up for
a few weeks after and then back again. I finally found vet who knew
how to treat her with prednisone -- a fairly strong dose, for over 2
weeks. It cleared up and never came back. It isn't fleas. Carolyn

Hi all,
My Ember has had dermatitis for about two months now. A month ago,
the vet gave her a Convenia shot, and that didn’t seem to change
things much. I gave her 2mg of chlor trimeton twice a day for five
days, and that hasn’t changed anything substantially. She has
lesions on her neck and shoulders, and there also must be some near
her backside, as she’s licked some hair off her legs, lower tail,
and stomach.
I should note that I’m 99.9% certain this has nothing to do with
fleas. Ember has no exposure to other animals or the outside (she’s
isolated in a set of rooms on the second floor of this house), I
have seen no fleas on her, and I haven’t had any jump on me. The vet
found none on her when she went in a month ago.
I spoke to the vet today, and she mentioned that they usually give
cats with this type of dermatitis a steroid injection, but that she
worries about doing that to Ember, given her FeLV+ status. The vet
did say that, rather than an injection, we could try tablets. That
would at least allow us to control how much exposure Ember gets.
Right now, this doesn’t seem to be life-threatening. I’m wondering
what others have done in this situation.
Thanks,
Lance
