The problem is that it's been very difficult pinpointing what the actual cause is. We changed my cats diet to not include any fish. We have also been applying frontline on a monhtly basis. What happens is I will take her to the vet when I can see that my cat is just miserably uncomfortable ... she will get the steroid shot, I will give her all her antibiotics and she will heal, but in a matter of maybe 1-3 months, she is back to square one (bumps throughout her body) and it gets progressively worse. She has just over the past 2 days started to throw up hair balls, which is another factor that usually plays into all this. I am going to bathe her, apply frontline and also try changting her diet out completely (just plain chicken and rice). I will see if we have any results, but I have a feeling that regardless of what i do, I will end up having to take her to the vet again for a steroid shot. I am writing because this cycle has grown expensive, but worst of all, i can't stand seeing my cat uncomfortable in her own skin. Does anyone out there have any suggestions or a similar experience in which you can offer any HELP to this cat mom who is tired and stressed out! Thank you.

We have another cat that has had no problems and they are both indoor cats. We took her to the Vet and he gave her a cortizone shot that took care of the problem for two months but ended up costing me $85.00. And now it is back. For four years we have treated the flea problem with Advantage but now my husband is afraid she is allergic to the medication. We cannot keep getting her cortizone shots. Please someone help me with information. Pat My female cat has licked about 4 spots on her chest and now they are raw looking.
