QuestionHi,
My cat will be 15 years old and has an alepecia problem on her stomach and rear legs. The vet suspects it's a seasonal problem because her hair did grow back in August, but she is now licking again (she does not lick the areas raw). The vet put her on a 0.5ml daily dose of amitriptyline for the antihistamine, but I've noticed her behavior has changed (I know they also use it as a behavior modifier). She is also on methimazole for her thyroid. Is there a natural antihistamine alternative I could use? Thank you.
AnswerHi Julie, Well, I have heard that Omega 3s are very helpful for the reduction of inflammation.
How about some of this - 2 per day for 10 days and then 1 per day long term...
**should be very good for her overall health.
