Feline Miliary Dermatitis in Cats

Hello I have noticed a new rash in my cat. He is an indoor cat and has not had a diet change. The rash is located on the dorsal side and does not seem to cause any distress, moderate itching. He has no change in activity or environment. He is on no medications and no other medical problems

My 4 year old moggy has always had allergies but has recently gotten a lot worse. Large bald patch on lower abdomen with red legions, bald hind legs and now what I believe to be rat lip. Has been treated with steroids, flea treatment and on hills zd but getting worse. Returning to vets this evening but any additional advice would be amazing as I am worried about her. Aside from above she is generally happy, eating well and no stomach complaints. Thanks

My cat has a single scab on her back toward her tail. It's been there for a few weeks, matting up with hair and weeping. She has been scratching a bit more lately but that single small lesion is the only other symptom.. No recent changes to her environment (indoor only) or food.

Houdini has suffered from dermatitis for nearly 5 years but this summer is especially terrible. He has been throwing up numerous hairballs a month He is flea treated but past vets have determined it is a flea and possible dust allergy as he has only been an indoor cat for the last 5 years of his life. And his skin looks terrible. Scabs, inflammation, lesions. I just moved and am so low on funds, what can I do for him at home? He is eating, drinking plenty of water, playing and sleeping as he normally would but you can feel the scabs and bumps from his neck to the tip of his tail and I am heartbroken for him.

Luna my white furry ragdoll started with black mucus from her nose which then lead to scapping on her nose and red inflammed blister liked things on the edge of her ears. Also noticed she had black tough things around her nails. Vets have given her antibiotics but nothings ails her. The change started to happen when i changed from kitten food to grown up. She is not even 2 years old. Help! I cant see my baby like this.

Dear Feline friends, my sweet cat Kin , after one year old , now she is 2 and half , developed this kind of allergy or something in her skin and since that we were in 5 different vets we spent more than 1000 thousand in tests , exams , medicine.... and non of then could realize what is or even gets she better. Plus that we spent another hundreds buying different kinds of foods and meals by expensive brands.... we bought even Kanguru meal and nothing makes she better ....Please if someone here was through something similar and can help us to find a solution or someone that can really help and makes she happier please let us know!! ❤️

My vet gave me Zymox for the miliary dermatitis. I noticed it is ear drops.
Currently my finances are not ideal for skin testing to find cause.
Bella is ten years old and is extremely overweight. 25#. She is Maine coon and Norwegian Forest. I am going back to the vet in a couple of weeks. Let me add she has multiple fatty tumors and a hard one the size of a dime that the vet is concerned about.
Is this treatment for the dermatitis one that works? She initially had them around her neck, now I noticed she has them down her back to her tail. She does not scratch, she has no fleas or mites. I am heartbroken over this especially the tumors.
How long will it take to clear? What type of shampoo should use. Her skin is dry and where the dermatitis is coarse compared to her soft fur. Any comments would be appreciated. Again going back to the vet is going to cost more money as she also wants to do blood work.
Thank you.

I have a cat that has had years of milliary dermatitis. She has received prednisone injections for years and this has driven her into diabetes. My vet has essentially thrown up his hands and said there in nothing he can do for her. She now has bad dermatitis down her back. The cause has never been determined, although she has been checked for fleas and mites many times, and I have tried all kinds of pet food to no avail. Is there nothing I can do to alleviate some of her misery with her dermatitis, which has in some spots caused open sores?

Hi, my Lucy is a Manx and tabby mix. Two years old, indoor cat. She suddenly has dry, scabby and flaky skin on her stub tail, back her hind legs and around her rectum area. She's using her litter and eating. She's lost interest in wet food suddenly when before she'd devour it. I'm not sure if it was the wheat based litter that we were using if she's become allergic. Some one said maybe fleas, but would they only focus on her tail and back end area? We have another cat, she doesn't seem to be affected. I put a cone on Lucy because she licks and bites continuously. I'll clean her then rub organic coconut oil on her to moisturize her. I'm so confused as to what suddenly caused this. I feed them good quality food. When i adopted both cats they evidently had fleas. Then two months after getting them they had parasites. That was a few months ago. I feel so sorry for her. I've never seen anything like it and can't find anything online close to it.

A stray kitten showing signs of skin problems, hair loss under neck, top of head and thinning fur on it's side. I've touched him and fur is a bit coarse but soft every place else. There are no running sores or scabs..is fed regularly. Like to get him healthy before finding him a home.

I am almost positive my cat has miliary dermatitis that just developed all around her head and neck. She is inside all the time so I don't think it is related to fleas. No recent food changes or anything like that. I have a cone on her and have been using a cat anti-itch spray. She's still eating and drinking and using the bathroom just fine. Will this go away on its own? Could the allergies be seasonal causing this?

I had myv9 yrs old cat to the vets and he has miliary dermitis and they used a steroid shot, but it's niwv5 weeks and he has them again, what can I do or advise

Echo has feline dermatitis my last vet visit cost in excess of $100.00 isn't there something I can do to treat her myself at home as I have 3 other cars so i have to treat them all and thats financially impossible for me at the present time

My British Blue had a flea infestation that I was unaware of. She wasn't scratching unduly and her behavior was fairly typical. She was pregnant by design when I discovered it. Her vet advised against treatment while pregnant due to potential for miscarriage. The manufacturer of the flea medication felt clearly that treatment while pregnant was O.K., but I followed our vet's advice. I treated her right after the birth of her six beautiful kittens, but now I am combing the kittens daily until they are old enough for topical treatment. The babies are healthy and plump and active. The mom eats and drinks plenty but has developed scabs. I am vaccuuming daily and washing the kittens bedding daily. I think the flea population is decreasing and I am guessing everything will get back to normal in time, but how long will it take for my mama cat's skin to heal completely and return to normal? The scabs are pretty thick.
Thanks for your help.

My rag doll cat has been allergic or sentive to something for a long time. He always has scabs in his name ect, back and tail but recent a dermatitis type rash is on his tummy and nipples. He is constantly licking and pulling hair out and forever throwing up hair balls. He is an inside cat and is regularly treated for fleas so i’ve ruled that out. I’ve tried oatmeal washes to calm his itch and use catlax to help with hairballs. My question is, is there a way when I take him to the vet to try and rule out some things so they don’t try and do every test and put a tonne of costs on te bill if it’s not likely or necessary? (Eg last time the done a skin scratch test) even though he just had worms. I hope my question makes sense

His rash started 2-3 weeks ago, a week or 2 after I gave him some new food.he is an indoor cat. The dermatitis is only at his lower back and tail. I've switched his food and given some Natural Pet Pharmaceutical for skin and itch about 5 days ago. So 2 questions how long till I see the rash start to go away? And where would I get Antihistamines. Corticosteroids. Fatty acid supplements. For a cat? Can I give him human stuff but make sure it's the tiniest amount?

To treat Miliary Dermatitis for a flea allergy what can be bought to eliminate fleas while preventing irritation to the scabs? My cat does NOT tolerate baths in any circumstamces and i flea comb her often but there are still quite a few fleas on her that bite her and cause her to it's her scabs. is there anything over the counter from petco that can be used to get rid of the fleas such as a natural spray?
