Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2005Kitty Sores
We have a 9 month old Siberian Forrest Cat, and have recently noticed small scabby areas. They seem to clear up, and reappear on different parts of his body. It does not look like ringworm, in that there is no fur loss,and they go away in a matter of days. He seems fine, eats, plays, sleeps, etc. Any suggestions? > We have a 9 month old Siberian Forrest Cat, and have recently noticed small > scabby areas.

If the vet can't tell exactly what they are on a visual inspection, s/he could do a scrape & culture them, I suppose, to figure out what's going on.

My friend's Persian (came from the shelter, she didn't buy him) kept getting little scabs all over his body. It was a mystery even to the vet. She switched litter from cheap clay to scoopable, and the condition cleared up.  Signature-Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG > Flea dermatisis? Allergy?

I just had to take him to get another Depo shot tonight. :( To Greg, I hope it is something simple, but maybe its seasonal, or its dry in your house? One of my cats would get a dry dermatitis-like thing only in the late winter. It seemed to be connected to fan- forced heat because as soon as the heat wasn't on all the time, it would clear up. Until the next year. Good luck! SignatureCheryl > Kelly, I wish it was that easy with Shamrock.

In my book, depo injections are once-every-12-week birth control shots!

One of my past cats (Tasha, my gorgeous blue tabby Maine Coon) got them from flea dermatitis. Carol > We have a 9 month old Siberian Forrest Cat, and have recently noticed small > scabby areas.
