Thank you for telling me this - and the explanation of the
difference. I'll talk to my vet this week. Fortunately there is a
compounding pharmacy just up the road.

Patches does this from anxiety. it is not an allergy with her, it is
anxiety. But she does not do it anymore, because I put compounded transdermal
benadryl in her ears twice a day. If I stop doing that, because I run out or
something, she picks right up and starts at her belly and legs again. But if
she gets it twice a day, the hair all grows back and she doesn't do it. The
benadryl just takes the edge off, I guess.
Even though benadryl is not a prescription, you need your vet to call in
a prescription to a compounding pharmacy to get it compounded to transdermal.
Don't use the benadryl cream from the drug store-- that is topical cream, not
transdermal.

I
would be very interested in that too. My Phelix has a half-bald
belly..and his back legs are little granny legs because he has chewed the
hair off of them. I've had him tested for ringworm and every skin
disease known. I've tried moisturizing washes for cats, Rescue Remedy
cream...everything. We even did immunoRegulin to build up his
system. Nothing has worked. The vet thinks it is
allergies. Someone on this list, however, recommended the book "The
Cat Who Cried for Help" - and after reading that I'm wondering if it isn't a
form of OCD.
