[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 685512, member: 6705"] Back in the days of Weasel and Possum (yes, cats, and yes, nicknames)... Possum got a bad flea infestation, and he ended up with sores all over his lower half and a nearly bald tail with sores. Even after all the fleas were gone... The allergy persisted. He had so many open wounds, and we couldn't make him better (though we tried and tried)... That was what eventually led us to putting him to sleep. He was miserable and we just couldn't make it better. Even the vets (3 of them) were at a loss... He was also old (16), and not doing too well otherwise. I still feel guilty, like maybe I could have done more. Now we have Icicle and Lala... and Icicle, even when she did have fleas, was fine. Lala, though, is licking fur off. No scabs, though, and she is on monthly flea treatment. I wonder if hers might be itchy skin due to dog slobber (since Fido likes to mouth her and lick her). [/QUOTE]
