Jade 7/21/18 Day 9/OTJ /PMBG 67

On a different subject....she has alopecia on her belly and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on an all natural remedy?

 

I love that kneading calico--what is it from?

I think the alopecia can be allergy-related, but I don't know any good solutions. My mom's cat gets a naked belly unless she's on duck food. Many years ago, I had a kitty who overgroomed her tummy and the vet put her on chlorpromazine--not a natural remedy, and I got uncomfortable with the idea and discontinued it. Hope you get some answers.

Felix is looking forward to Jade's OTJ party.

ETA: Maybe I meant chlorpheniramine rather than chlorpromazine! It was determined to be OCD, not physical, and the meds sedated her somewhat.

 

I’m not sure where.. I just googled “happy cat” and I think it may be allergy related also but she doesn’t seem uncomfortable at all. And OMG the OTJ party thought is sooooo exciting!! Thank you ( and Felix)!

 

Happy Day 9!


I don't know anything about alopecia. I hope you get some suggestions.

 

Thank you, Carla. I’ve been thinking about you a lot today...

 

Hi Jill and congrats on Day 9 for the OTJ trial. Getting close!

 

Happy Saturday! And thank you! It’s so exciting!!

 

Happy Day 9!!!!

 

Happy day 9!

 

I wasn't going to be able to sleep tonight unless I figured this out!

 

Nice!!!!

I think I need to see this!! "PIG" LOL!!

 

You sure find good ones!!!

 

One of my cats has belly alopecia and had a very nasty rash for months. I tried a restricted diet which didn't help, changed his constipation med which did help, but what's really cleared up his skin is cetirizine (generic Zyrtec). His fur's only grown back a little, though.

 

She's got it on her belly, also. So, a pill? What dose and how do you give it? There's no way she will let me put a pill in her mouth. She develops super human strength when I have to. It's incredibly dramatic. She doesn't seem to bothered. I think it bothers me more than her cuz I just see this pink bare belly all the time, but it's spreading a bit to her arm pits. I was hoping to find some sort of topical powder or ointment. Thanks for the response!! She’s really sitting here watching.... funny girl!

 

Lol!

For cats you give cetirizine 5mg once a day. It's considered very safe with few side effects. I get the pills from Amazon since it's hard to find them in less than 10mg. I don't pill him; the pills are tiny and I put it in half a Pill Pocket and push it into his food. For a diabetic cat maybe you could use 1/4 pill pocket or a bit of cheese or butter or just hide it in the food.

Thank You!!!!!

 

Ordered!!

 

Does it make him lethargic? Or wired? That’s what happens to me when I take allergy pills.

 

With my cat I don't see any difference, but ECID. I'm the same way with antihistamines, I took two of Tiger's pills once and they made me sleepy for at least 12 hours.
