I know that some cats can suddenly develop allergies to food- one of my friends has to feed her cat a purer food such as James Wellbeloved. It may be worth getting your vet to check for other causes such as Feline Scabies and an allergy known as Atopic Dermatitis or Atopy, which can cause symptoms similar to those you describe. I know someone else who's cat developed an overactive thyroid, which caused sores to develop and fur loss. It may be worth discussing these with your vet. Let us know how you get on.

This has caused bleeding and scabs. Along with that her ears have become very red and she is starting to lose hair on her ears. I have taken her to the vet twice now. During my visits, the vet has checked for ear mites, ring worm, parasites and fleas. My cat has none of this. The vet, however, gave my Tritop to put over the open sores on her face as well as some medication for her red ears. The medication did work for her ears but she is still scratching the side of her face. I have changed her food back to the old stuff, thinking that food might be the issue. I also vacuum and dust EVERYTHING in the house thinking that might be the problem as well. This has been going on for about two months now and I don't know what to do anymore. My only other option is to take her back to the vet but vet bills are putting a big strain on my finances. Any suggestions? About two months ago my cat started intensely itching her face.

You can generally tell because they'll have little bumps all throughout their fur. These are scabs from where they've drawn blood, either from a rash or from the cat scratching itself. I'd like to add that cats can also suffer from mange, though dogs get it more often. There are two types of mange that cats can suffer from, sarcoptic mange and demodecdic mange. Sarcoptic mange can be quite acute but is generally easily curable. Demodecdic mange, on the other hand, usually cannot be cured, only managed. In addition, demodecdic mange becomes linked to the animal's stress levels. If the cat gets stressed, the skin itches and the hair falls out.
