Eczema
Eczema:
Inflammation
of the skin with reddening, formation of vesicles, and/or scabs.
The cat aggravates the condition by scratching. The various types
of eczeme can be caused by food poisoning, bad skin care, abnormal
liver function, vitamin deficiency or allergy. The complaint may
be acute or chronic, and may attack various parts of the body, especially
the back and tail, the neck and the head. A vet may give injections
to guard against liver damage and apply suitable ointments after
bathing the affected area. Diet should be changed to include fish,
fresh cheeses, buttermilk, or yogurt???
