My 7 year old cat started breaking out with miliary dermatitis after we moved from Arizona to Maryland. We have been to the vet several times. Skin test revealed no ringworm and topical flea medication caused her to break out more in the area it was applied. Tests showed no ringworm. We opted for steroid treatment as allergy testing and treatment was too expensive for us. Her skin cleared up for about a month, but now it has broken out again and appears worse thanbefore. The areas most affected are forehead, ears, chin, along the spine, and the base of her tail. She is also on Royal Canin SO Urinary food. How can we help her without making numerous visits to the vet? We just cannot afford to keep bringing her.

She’s 9 months. She bites and scratches her back legs and under her front armpits. These places are now red raw and have no fur. Vet changed her food to hills allergy and skin care food and gave me a special shampoo to wash her twice a week but nothing seems to help. She’s also been treated for fleas. Please help as I’m worried about her.
