Jimmy at the vet's - a photo on Flickriver

Jimmy at the vet's

            As you may know, Jimmy has allergies to all sorts of unknown things and is currently having severe reactions.  I took these pictures the day before yesterday when I brought him to work.  He'd already had a long-acting steroid injection three weeks earlier that was supposed to give him some relief for three months.  He got a second, shorter-acting steroid injection that day.  So far, there is possibly a little improvement to his skin but not as much as any of us were hoping for.

The area between the ears and the eyes is a common place for cats to have lesions associated with food allergies.  I have recently added wet food to the cats' diet because I'm trying to help Jimmy and Mack lose weight to decrease their chances of becoming diabetic.  Food is something I've tried to control very carefully for most of their lives specifically because of Jimmy's allergies to who-knows-what, but because of a miscommunication, I thought the wet food we were adding had already been "tested" in the past and hadn't caused any problems for him.  This turns out not to be the case.   Cross your fingers that something as simple as cutting out all food other than the Hill's C/D and T/D that Jimmy has been eating for years will be the solution to this latest allergic reaction!

I inserted the close up of Jimmy's sores so you wouldn't have to see them full size.  The lesions are between the eyes and the ears which is why you don't see them when looking at Jimmy straight on.
