Mancat Monday

It has been a little under a month since the end of my last treatment of Prednisone for my allergies and so far my itchies haven't come back. Mommy doesn't want to jinx anything, but the one thing that has changed is our litter.




Since we moved last May, we had been using Feline Fresh (a pine-based litter), but our pet store has been out of stock for the last month so Mommy went back to World's Best Cat Litter.


We are hoping and purring that my allergy is to pine and that we have solved the problem because the steroid medication has made me gain 3 whole pounds in a year! I don't mind having a little extra Samson around, but Mommy says it's very unhealthy.




It's tiring having this much extra weight. I think I'll have a nap!

Finally Friday

I had my vet trip yesterday and my doctor tested my scabs and has ruled out an infection or skin disease. He has confirmed that it is most likely an allergy.



I have started scratching again and I'm very uncomfortable, so they decided that since the Prednisone helped so much last time, they would give me another round of medication so that I can have some relief, and then Mommy will do some experimenting with different foods to check to see if my symptoms come back. If the food trials are unsuccessful, I will have to go back to the vet and get skin tests for inhalants. Mommy is also going to add some Evening Primrose oil to my diet to help my skin (Thanks for the suggestion, Milo and Alfie's Mum!). If any of you have any suggestions for food, Mommy would love to hear them. She wants to keep me on a grain-free diet with some raw food, if possible, but she will try anything if it will keep me comfortable and symptom free.

In the meantime, I'm just happy I will have relief as soon as my medication kicks in. A good long snooze is in order!
