My kitten is about 6 months old & within the last month or 2 she has broken out in bumps in the aforementioned areas. She scratches until they bleed & then they scab over. I thought a wheat allergy. Her iams kitten food does not have wheat, but her new litter did. We changed the litter, but no change in a week. Probably not that.
It was suggested that it might be a plastic allergy. So, I changed the food bowls to ceramic, but how do you find a cat box that isn't plastic???? All her toys are mostly plastic. Her food comes in plastic bags.
I have ruled out bugs...I think, as she was treated three weeks ago with Advantage. Also, my other cat has no signs of bugs and was also treated.
I talked to someone at the vet office about running a couple of trials at home before taking her for allergy tests, as the test runs at $150. It's a lot, so I would like to run trials first. She said it's okay. If anyone has other ideas, please help.
