Hi all I was just wondering what to do with Porcha she seems to scratch herself a lot .Been right through her coat and no flea dust, no dry scaley skin even tried keeping her of red meat but nothing seems to stop her she eats everything i give her and seems happy and well just this continues scratching it drives me made so any thoughts on what this could be ? thankyou Maria

Have you changed her food? what about the bikkies ? Id take her off the bikkies for awhile if she eats them and see, just feed her au naturelle ...also what about a type of heat rash, does she get close to any heat source , this can dry her skin out ...hope you get to the bottom of it Maria ?

Thanks guys i feed her supercoat dry and mixed tin food plus raw meat .Yes she does lay close to the wood heater as we live in Tasmania where it gets pretty cold and she sleeps on drybed bedding . No i dont have any plants inside as i find my other raggie eats the leaves and i dont want sick cats so i will see what happens on the cotton pillow case Maria

Just have a feeling its red meat
Must take note to see if it only happens when its cold weather Porcha is a very hard cat to work out from day one when she arrived give her to much red meat and she brings it back the only way she keeps it down if i give her small balls or small lumps all round her plate .Been to the vet and he tells me to only give her dry mmmmmm nor sure about that for she is one of those cats that eats everything you give her just dont like to see her scratch herself all the time i have notice any dry food that only has bi products she also brings back so far so good on supercoat so now i will try and keep her of meat for 6 weeks and see what happens thankyou all who have replied and i will keep diary for a few weeks and see if the scratching stops after no red meat cheers Maria |
