Thank you everyone, his thyroid has been checked and it's fine. He is a 12 year old Maine Coone x Ragdoll. I tried a slicker brush on him today and he loved it so will brush him with that - he hates the other ordinary brush. Goes to vet this week for his booster so will discuss supplements/fish oil ...

Hi everyone looking for a little bit of help please. Mr Blue's fur has gone very greasy. He has had full bloods done, nothing found, everything ok. What is the best thing to help his fur ie food/supplement wise and is there any dry shampoo I could get because he would not allow me to shampoo him. At...

Hi everyone just wanted to give you an update on Jazz. When he went to the vet for his check up, Myra mentioned the manuka honey and the antiseptic powder, but because there is no infection in the wound, he couldn't get any of these things. Vet says the wound is closing very slowly and it will take ...

Hi everyone I have passed on all your advice about manuka honey and the antiseptic powder, so she is going to try these. Jazz is off to the vet on Monday for a check up again.

Hurrah I think I have managed to post a photo of Jazz's wound

The problem with the plastic collar is that it irritates his neck and his skin is then broken and that another problem, but maybe te comfy collar would do. I think part of the problem is that air is not getting into the wound ...

Hello I now have a photo of Jazz's wound. He is on Apoquel (not for cats but my friend agreed with vet that they would try this on Jazz) oh bother cant get6 the attachment to attach. Will have to try something else.

Hello, Jazz's wound is in his armpit. I will try and get a photo. Thank you for replying.

I am posting this on behalf of my friend. She has a cat who keeps scratching at a wound he has. The wound came from a bite by another cat. He has been to the vet, all sorts of tests done, but no definitive diagnosis as to why he won't stop licking it. He's had the collar on but still manages to get ...
