Kitten help! Dry scabby skin around head and neck
Posted: Tue May 04, 2021 10:26 pm
Hello,
So my kitten is around 3 months old now, and when I first got her I noticed she had a few tiny scabs on the top of her head, I thought nothing of it really and expected them to go away, which they did.
However I then noticed around her neck she had a nasty looking mark that was bleeding, she didn’t seem in pain, I bandaged it up and it healed nicely and everything seemed fine. But I then started to notice her skin had huge bloody scabs all around her neck so I took her to the vets ASAP, in which they told me she had a nasty skin infection and prescribed some antibiotics in which I’ve been giving her them, she’s just had her final dose today and her skin is exactly the same if not worse! It’s just so itchy and bloody, I hate seeing her like this I have no idea what to do or what it is!
She also has conjunctivitis which seems to be getting worse, does anyone have any idea where these problems could be coming from?
She had conjunctivitis when I first got her, so all of these issues have been around since I adopted her
