Hi Lebronmare Thanks for getting in touch and delighted the information was useful to you Best wishes Nico

My cat is 15 and has had severe allergies since he turned 5. He used to get a depo injection ever 4-5 weeks but the vet scared me with the possible diabetes side effect so I stopped taking him. I limit his diet to very high quality wet food and of course let him get a few munches of his limited ingredient turkey kibble (because he asks for it daily). Wish I could get him off kibble for good, because the more he eats it the more he itches and rips out his fur. I’ve had him allergy tested numerous times and he is allergic to everything in cat food including the most popular proteins. I tried making him food at home and it made him itchy. I wash his blankets and beds and my floors with non toxic products. I give him the best filtered water… this allergy nightmare has had me troubleshooting a solution for 10 years and I still have had no luck. I don’t mean any disrespect because I thought your video was very informative and helpful to those starting out on this tough journey. However, what is the root cause of an overactive immune system? If cats are like us it appears that we need to dig deeper and look at the gut and treat the root cause. It’s maddening to go to the vet constantly to get a prescription filled or go for shots. I give up. 😢

Hi Talin Thanks for getting in touch - yes I agree agree, modern medicine is still rubbish at treating any sort of allergy or immune system problem. I am very allergic myself and spent some time in a coma in 2019 with autoimmune encephalitis. We have medications that can address the symptoms but I agree that we need to find the root cause and correct this . I suspect the root cause and the "cure " for allergies will come in my lifetime. It is likely to take the form of stem cell gene splicing therapy to correct the faulty DNA coding in allergic individuals. Until then all we can do is what you have been doing - focus on gut heart , find a best suited diet and treat with steroids and cyclosporin as required. Regarding diet - my choice for gut health and skin allergies is RCW hypoallergenic or hills z/d diet. Hope this helps Best wishes Nico

Our kitty had his first major dermatitis flair up last year and we finally got it under control with Prednisolone. Kitty was fine for a few months and is now having a breakout. Our vet talked us into ordering Atopica but the price tag isn’t manageable for us.

Hi Suzy Thanks for getting in touch. Yes , the cost of Atopica is pretty steep and unsustainable for Ost of use. I use steroids routinely and frequently and without significant problems. The most common problem is that cats may get fatin which case we give them a break from treatment. Using steroids according to the rules of lowest effective dose and shortest effective courses is associated with allow risk of significant problems and restores happiness and quality of life to cats suffering from military dermatitis. Hope this helps Nico

Hi thanks for getting in touch. Food allergies are really rare and very often affect just the face i.e. just the face becomes inflamed and scabby so if the is the case then food allergy may be the diagnosis but if the whole body is affected then it is less likely. If you wanted to trial different foods then use foods containing protein she has not eaten before like venison, rabbit etc and avoid chicken, beef, mutton, and lamb. The easiest option for changing the food is to just use HIlls Z/D diet or Royal Canin Anallergenic diet but I agree with you , the most important thing ( especially for someone her age) is to use prenisolone and balance giving her the lowest dose possible to achieve the best result. As an added benefit, the prednisolone will also help for old age arthritis which she will have, at least to some extent, at her age. Hope this helps. Keep safe and well in these troubled times Nico

Hi Christie I am sorry to hear how frustrated you and your cat are. I think the confusion stems from terminology - many vets call the condition " flea allergy" when in fact we should call it "skin allergy or miliary dermatitis". By naming it correctly it becomes clear that, although fleas may be contributing to the problem and so it's imperative we get rid of them, the problem is that the cat is likely allergic to several triggers and most of them are things in the air ad environment that we cannot get rid of so we have to treat the allergy with cortisone or ciclosporin. Perhaps watch the video to see a longer explanation. Hope this helps Best wishes Nico

Oh and the vet mentioned it could be cancer or that she may need skin surgery. NO, NO mam.

I used the spot local insecticide and the next day he grew his hair that were so shiny. Now after 4 weeks I can see the patches again. I am washing the house regularly every two days. He wasnt scratching or licking for four weeks. I wonder if there's an option for outdoor shoe immersion when you get home such as when you go to swimming pools. That would likely help no fleas.

I just discovered your video today, it was very informative thank you! My 3 year old cat has been itching kicking all over for three months with few small scabs, loss of fur on legs tail belly only. I tried many alternative treatments to no avail. Took to a cat specialist vet , she said all signs point to flea allergies. She was certain! I did suggest environmental more so she disagreed!! I suggest steroid she disagreed! He is strictly indoors ( his brother too) did get fleas when kittens from my apartment hallway ( a dog brought in) So, I did administer one dose both cats revolution plus ( prescription) even though no fleas. My cat is still kicking and scratching four days later after applying … how long would it take to stop itching if it is flea allergy and will the revolution plus help with that ? I still feel he needs steroids! Can I get an over counter steroid for him and how long to wait after giving the revolution plus? Thank you!! I follow a few vets on KZread and a holistic one as well and you very different indeed… broader perspective. I’ll watch more of your videos! 🙏

I just adopted a cat from a rescue organization. I stressed to them that because I am elderly, disabled and can not drive, I needed to start out with a healthy adult cat. The organization kept the information from me that the cat I adopted has this miliary skin condition, though they knew had taken the cat to the vet and the cat had been given the depo and antibiotic shots. Now, listening to this. I find this is a chronic, recurring condition and the cat will need veterinarian intervention every few months. I am very upset and concerned about this news.

Can my cat be allergic to litter I use PetPride

One of my cats has had a bad eye infection that starts going away slightly hen comes back with a vengeance. It started in one eye then spread to both. He lost hair around his eyes. He is now healing, but I never found the cause. Now 2 of my other cats are losing chunks of hair and one i've noticed has bumpy scaby skin all over, the other cat has small patches of dry scaby skin with hairloss. We have black mold in my house that I've been trying to get our landlord to take care of since 2018. Unfortunately she hasn't. Nor has she taken care of the water leaks causing the mold. I worry cats health is being affected as well as my own. It is summer and VERY humid where I live, so the AC has been constant. My cats are indoor only. I've been having extreme headaches as well. The cats are obviously inside 100% of the time, so could enviornmental issues be a culprit?

Hi Missa I am sorry you are having rough time at the moment. I think it is unlikely that the mould issues in your house are the cause of the cats' symptoms. The itchy scabby skin is likely secondary to external environmental factors carried into the house in the air and/or fleas( check the cats closely to be sure there are no fleas) and the recurrent eye problems may be due to a variety of problems. Perhaps watch the video again and then go and have a chat with your vet Best wishes Nico

My 1.5 year old cat just suddenly started getting what looks like ringworm, but the earliest scabs have hair growing back. Her neck is almost completely bald, save for the back of the neck and bald patches back there too. She also have lesions and .red bumps, when I st Scratched her. I cleaned and changed out their litter box. New box and all. Bc everywhere she's bald is where she scratches herself. She's completely declawed so she isn't scratching herself. Her fur stopped falling out after I gave her a bath, bc what else can I do over the weekend? Gave her flea and tick treatment. My other cat is completely fine! It's so weird that she'd suddenly have these problems bc they're both indoor cats. I'm guess I gave it to her bc I work outside, so I probably brought something in.

@nicothevet7851

3 ай бұрын

Hi Tracey I cannot comment on specific cases but in my experience there is no significant risk of long term damage when using cortisone/steroids according to the rules for using these drugs ie use the shortest courses possible and lowest effective dose to meet the needs of the patient. If an individual must be on very long courses then taper the dose to the minimum effective dose , ideally tapering down to alternate day ( every other day) low dose dosing. Once a cat or dog or human being has been of cortisone some of their liver enzymes( liver blood tests) may be increased by the cortisone - this is almost never significant but knowing that these levels where normal before starting the treatment my make us more confident ascribing the blood level increases to the cortisone. A similar thing happens to some people( like me) on long term statins for high cholesterol and as long as the elevations are within the predictable range , your doctor will ignore them Hope this helps Nico

Hi and thanks for getting in touch. If there are scabs on the skin then it is unlikely that the hair is just falling out i.e. it is more likely that the cat is licking or rubbing and that is why the hair is missing.

I would suggest watch the video then go and chat with your vet about treatment options

Short course or single doses of allergy medications often fail so long term treatments are essential. Have another chat with your vet or ask then to refer you to a dermatologist.

Hi Justerre Thanks for getting inn touch . Yes , if fleas are the cause of the allergy then getting rid of the fleas will resolve the allergy but for most cats this is not the case and in these individuals the allergy is triggered by environmental factors that we have little control over so are left with having to treat with medications like steroids and cyclosporin and dietary trials. Dietary manipulation sometimes give some improvement but very rarely means that no medications are required. I feel your pain , I would prefer to not use medications and I think to "cure" allergic individuals will come one day in the form of stem cell gene splicing therapy to correct fault DNA sequence causing allergies but that technology is somewhere in the future. I am a severe allergy sufferer myself so also wish modern medicine would come up with better treatment and management protocols. Best wishes Nico
