itter then this is probably unlikely. As for Bramble well he ate his own breakfast and finished off Minstrel's and then ate a tin of tuna and half a tin of pilchards in sunflower oil about  2 hours later. He has started to put a little weight on too - still has to put more on but he looks much

Bramble has been doing well with the scratching thanks - his skin has improved a lot - only a small scab left now and no fur of course bless him.   The pill that the vet put him on is doing good for his skin but the steroids will help stop the itch too. It has been a risk assesment really

Hi Michelle, I wonder if you could find broth with no sodium as some sort of specialty food for people who can't tolerate sodium in their diets. You're going to have to spend some time in the grocery store checking labels! Bramble won't eat the better brands of cat food? Wys

Thanks for the info on nutrition and supplements. Unfortunately for Bramble I am unable to cook it for him myself or make broth etc... as I am vegan and can only just manage scraping fish out of a tin (which he isn't eating) or breaking up ready cooked chicken, or emptying food out

Michelle, be careful with hydrocortisone in cats, if they lick it off, they can get rapidly low blood sugars, I think I recall hearing.   Good luck with all the meat and eggs... While I do eat the stuff, I still get queasy if I get my fingers in a raw egg, so I can only guess how bad it must

Yes I changed Bramble's diet to organic whiskers instead of usual but he as scratched his ears whilst he was on the normal stuff as does Minstrel. It could be dust mite allergy too. Bramble hasn't made anymore mess of his face. I have been putting E45 cream it - I would usually p

Michelle, I am sorry that Bramble is having a problem – a skin problem is one of the hardest thing to identify the cause of – as I read different materials – symptoms tends to show on their skin easiest as it’s very surface of their body –   Have you happened to change the diet at all
