Anyone here deal with an anxious fur baby that stims by ripping out their fur in chunks, leaving behind patches of bare skin and the occasional open wound??
I am at my breaking point w my little guy :( multiple vets have ruled out skin conditions that would cause him to itch, I’ve tried changing his diet to rule out any allergies (to no avail), and gabapentin didn’t work for us either (my cat quickly started hiding from me when I had to force medicine down his throat).
Just today I started him on Ellevet CBD oil to hopefully chill him out, which after one dose he seems calmer but is still over grooming. He has also been wearing a soft, large cone collar type thing to try to prevent him from over grooming but he still attacks any spots he can get to.
Anyone who has dealt with this, what has worked?? I am really hoping the cbd oil helps because I hate that he’s had to have that damn collar on :( I took it off of him for a few hours today to give him a break and then noticed he had multiple small open wounds
