At my WITS END!!!!!!!!! (UPDATE!!! POST #19)

Have you had a skin scraping done? Forgive me if you've answered this already, I tried skimming

If it is related to mites, then you will not be able to see any bugs on the skin as they are very very tiny and live underneath the skin in the hair follicles. A skin scraping can be done at the vet and usually get your results in a matter of minutes.

We recently had a dog with MUCH larger (read HUGE) itchy spots on it that looked similar to those. Skin scrapings indicated mange (mites) with a secondary Staph infection from scratching so much.

If skin scrapings have not been done on your pets I'd highly recommend them. Otherwise a second opinon may be in order just for your own peace of mind if nothing else.

Good luck.

Wishing you and your kitties all the best and praying for you all that the vets figure this out and come up with treatment that will clear it up.
