Question
My 4 yrs old cat is having Eczema, I've tried everything ( creams, aloe vera plant, changing food) but she keeps scratching and there is always blood on her skin, she eats Salmon and Dry food. Is there and way to cure it? I have also went to 3 vets but nothing works.

Answer
IT is more than likely an allergy to something, so I would recommend that you ask your vet for a shot of DEPO MEDROL.  That is a long acting steroid.  If that doesn't work, then I would ask the vet to do skin biopsies so that they will know exactly what the skin condition is.
