I took in a friend's cat (Morris) recently; we have two other cats. Morris came to us with fleas and we noticed right away that his bottom lip was swelling and he had some pretty severe swelling and bumps on his neck. We immediately took care of the flea problem and saw immediate improvement.
It's been 3 months now and his lip is STILL swollen and I'm starting to find bumps on his neck again. No scabs or crusties, but hard knobby bumps.
He's eating OK and acting fine so I'm not really worried about his actual health. However, he can't be feeling really good and it's starting to worry me. What are some typical cat allergies that I could be looking for? I use Frontline Plus for fleas, is there something better I should be using? I have not noticed any fleas or symptoms with my other cats, so I didn't think that was it; is it possible that is still the problem?
I would appreciate any advice that I can try before I have to take him to the vet. Thanks!
