I would contact a vet before this goess to far. Also, his allergies should be looked after, maybe they are affecting his skin.

Thanks for the reply Kirsten, I believe I read somewhere too how cats can do this obsessive licking beyond what was originally causing it. I have been in contact with my vet, I just know she wants to use the Prednisone again and I'm afraid of that...
