Cat with Dermatitis
Discussion
Hi all,
Our cat (silver tabby) has a soar on the inside of her front left leg.
She has been to the vets previously and said it was dermatitis and gave her a steroid injection. This did cause her to stop licking/biting and the redness reduced but didn't completely heal.
It has now flared up again and has appeared on the other front leg too. She is booked into the vet on Saturday and I'm guessing they will just give her an injection again.
In the mean time is there anything we can do to stop her licking/biting it?

Bit of an update,
Had the biopsy done it found nothing but she also had an allergy test done which showed she is allergic to fish and grass.
Anyway she had another steroid injection but again it has come back and has also started popping up in other places not just her legs.
She's going to the vet again on Saturday but we are getting frustrated as nothing seems to permentally solve the problem.
Nobody likes seeing an unhappy cat.
