Hermes Wearing a Cone Again

[columbine]

Smudge is another who can't have grain - that was ONE source of his itching - plus he gets an antihistamine in his food, and now a steroid dabbed in his ear! Some cats are just really allergic. (I joke with the vet that he's allergic to humans!) But for what it's worth, between the gourmet food, the chlorpheniramine, and the transdermal prednisolone, he's now so comfortable that - at age 13 3/4 - he can finally enjoy having his chin rubbed because it doesn't disturb a painful minefield of scabs.

Love, Columbine

When I switched from Purina Cat Chow to Purina Cat Chow INDOOR Formula, that's when my Creamsicle's allergies started. I seem to recall someone telling me that the Indoor formula has more coloring in it and that could be what she is allergic to. It may be the same w/Hermes. Problem is that I was also told that it could take up to 12 weeks before all the allergens are completely out of her system, so you may have to wait a while before you see any result. Good luck w/this. I know how frustrating it can be.
