raw inside of ears, and scab on upper part of tail, one eye gets infected

Rating: 9

We have taken our Kitty to our local vet a couple of times to get Jasimine checked out...Both times the answer was allergy to the food we were feeding... We have changed food and giving her Duck and Peas (small cans bought at the Vets office) for about 9 weeks now and do not see an improvement.She acts fine and is in good health, except for the sore ears (which she does not complain about or itch) and the scab on the tail.
Any ideas ?
thanks

    Hi,

    Have they ruled out fleas and mites as a cause for these problems? In cases such as this I make sure the kitty is on preventative treatment for fleas and mites, such as Revolution. You can save on Revolution at entirelypets.com but will first need a prescription from your vet.

    Yes, that has been one of the things we have checked. No fleas or mites. We believe during the summer when we do really go after the fleas the problem MIGHT be better. We have started her on a Flea medicine and are in the process of see if that is the problem. She is a mostly 95% indoor cat, but we do have 2 others that do go in and out, but they do not have any trouble either with fleas or mites. Thank You for your response. Karl
