Can anyone help with this problem My friends cat is five years old and has a skin complaint around her face and on her neck she has had it for a while and although it does not seem to bother her it looks awfull She has taken her to see a vet and he has not been much help. Has anyone had this problem. The vet has suggested various tests but this is very expensive and my friend is a pensioner. Someone told her to give her cat an piryton? tablet but I dont think this would be wise any ideas?

Hiya Cris, Can't really give you any advice - not sure about the Piriton, this would only stop itching possibly but not presumably a cure? There are lots of great people here who maybe can help more. Unfortunately vets are pricey, would maybe your friend being a pensioner be able to go to the PDSA? Some vets will let people pay in installments, I know mine will..
I hope the cat gets sorted, poor thing

Hiya Chris

Welcome.

With something like this I would post on as many forums as you can.

Else has the owner rung her local Cats protection league? They may be able to help by giving advice.

Piriton is safe to use, and if it works on her then it could be she has an allergy. I discussed Piriton with my vet and it is perfectly safe to use.
Piriton works its way out of the system in 12 hours.

Piriton is for allergies, so goodo to use. Has the kitty got fleas or ticks, then go down the obvious line for that like Frontline

if its round the face it could be feline acne, one of my queens gets it when shes preggers

does she wear a collar??
