What could be wrong with our cat if he has irritated, lumpy skin under his arm?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

skin irritations are often caused by an allergy to an ingredient/s in the cat’s food. Try a high quality cat food with a minimal amount of grains; corn and soy are common irritators for cats. Also, if you can afford it, and there is one available to you, try a holistic vet. My holistic vet has extended the life of my cat that has heart problems; traditional vets are stunned that she is still alive.
