CHRIS:
Does the vet tell you what he thinks caused the dermatitis?
No, the vet says that it could be amoxicillin but it could also be something
FeLV related or even fleas.
We tried to eliminate amoxicillin and fleas, first.
The cat, however, keeps on licking herself bald. She does that on her

They had her blood tested and I have all values, such as iron, proteins,
cholesterol etc...
Is there anything more specific for thyroid?

One of my cats, Misty, who is FELV negative went through a
period of obsessive licking where she literally took hair off and had
bald spots. Vet thought it might be nerves--she's a bit of a
nervous nelly and is absolutely obsessed with food. Let me go back
through my notes to see what we
Orlando, my 10 year old FeLV+ began urinating on the bathroom rug just over a
week ago. I figured out who was doing it on Saturday and got him in to the vet
on Monday. They tested his urine and blood and the vet called me today with
the results. She said his liver enzymes are elevated and

Elevated liver enzymes can mean Hepatic lipidosis (liver failure). If he is
eating less than normal he can go into liver failure. If it is that, he is
critical. I would ask her for a copy of the blood work and ask her how
elevated they are and consider getting him to another vet/specialist (and/or
I was about to mention this myself, thanks for saving me the time. I'd
add that hepatic lipidosis in itself does not constitute permanent liver
failure, and can be treated by feeding high-protein, low-fat food, by
force or esophageal tube if necessary if the cat isn't eating enough on
its own.
The first thing that leaps to my mind, from experience, is hepatic
lipidosis (fatty liver disease) which generally happens when a cat isn't
eating enough to sustain it, its body tries to use its fat reserve for
nourishment, and the liver gets overloaded with fat. The causes for the
cat not eating
His appetite has not changed at all. He gobbles up his Wellness with Lysine
and extra water just as always. He loves when the Temptation treats come out.
Truthfully he should probably lose a little weight - but obviously not by being
sick. He acts healthy in every way except for urinating on
Also with Hepatic Lipidosis, usually something like Denosyl or Denamarin
would be given, and often a cocktail that might include arginine
cartinine, not sure what else but possibly some other things from my
recollection.
If he is eating well, hopefully it's not HL--good luck!!!
It has been too long since Ebony left this world. I can't remember
the values. However, when he tested for hypothyroidism, it was
believed that cats did not develop the condition. Luckily, my vets
tend to go beyond the typical and ran the appropriate tests. Now it
is pretty well

A laser spay is most definitely an option! I had them use a laser
for Tommy's neuter, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's a bit more
expensive, but sooo worth it. He had no pain and recovered like
it was nothing. I know spays are much more involved, but I have heard
good things
