Vet Q & A
My cat has eosinophilic plaque. What meds can my vet prescribe?
Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Steroids generally used are Prednisolone or Depo-Medrol. If Steroids can not control the lesions, we often go to Atopica ( cyclosporine ). For the antibiotic, I would start either with the amoxicillin/clauvalonic acid or one of the cephalosporins ( Covenia if available to you). You might also investigate using a hypoallergenic diet for cats, such as one with a novel protein or one made with a hydrolyzed protein. Science Diet & Royal Canin are very popular ones here. Hope this helps. Take care.

Vet Q & A
Can I give my cat human allergy medicine for seasonal allergies?
Allergy pills do not work in cats, if he suffers from seasonal allergy he might benefit from a short term steroid treatment, you will need to take him to the vet for that as steroids are prescription only.

Vet Q & A
Can a breastfeeding dog with skin allergies safely take cyclosporine?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Cyclosporine IS distributed in the milk and there have been no studies proving it's safety for nursing puppies. The drug is not recommended that women nurse their babies while on it. I would call your Vet to discuss an alternative. I wish you the best!

My cat is scratching, losing fur, red ears. Food or neomycin allergy?
If she responded initially to d/d then this confirmed a significant food sensitivity. A hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin hypoallergenic or anallergenic would be recommended, antiinflammatory medications should also be prescribed to provide short term relief

My cat won't take pills. Can I use butter with his allergy diet?
Hello there! Oh my goodness- I feel your pain. Medicating cats daily can be so frustrating! Luckily, food allergies are almost never to fats! Butter shouldn't interfere with the diet trial. I would be sure to use butter that doesn't have any traces of other food in it though. Some prescriptions can be compounded into different formulas that may be easier to try as well, but I would caution that most flavors would likely interfere with the diet trial. A popular pharmacy that compounds pet medications is called Wedgewood. Some medications in capsule form are relatively unflavored, and may be easily hidden by sprinkling on top of food. Your vet can consult with one of their pharmacists over your cat's disdain for pills and hypoallergenic needs, and they may be other, easier options! I hope this is helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
