    Miliary Dermatitis         

    Internal Allergen Blood cleanser, cost:- $32 for 50ml will last for 12 weeks

    External Cost:- Paw paw 75g jar $23.50.

    Dose:-2 drops only added to food twice a day, slowly build to 5 drops.

    Feline miliary dermatitis has been known as 'scabby cat disease,' 'feline eczema,' and 'blotch.' The word 'miliary' is used because the lesions look somewhat like millet seeds.

    Feline miliary dermatitis is not really a specific disease itself but a set of symptoms which can be caused by a vast number of diseases. The causes include:
  • Allergies, e.g., food allergy, atopy- such as allergies to pollens, and fleas
  • Bacterial infections
  • Fungal infections
  • Yeast infections
  • Parasitic infections of the skin, e.g., mites, lice
  • Hypersensitivity to intestinal parasites
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Nutritional disorders e.g.,biotin or fatty acid deficiencies
  • Hormonal abnormalities

    The lesions of feline miliary dermatitis are multiple small, crusty bumps with redness underneath. The lesions are sometimes limited to small areas of the body like the base of the tail or the head. In other cases, the lesions can cover a large portion of the body. Many times the lesions are itchy, sometimes severely so. In these cases, there may be more damage to the skin because of the constant scratching and licking by the cat.

    The hard part is determining the cause of the problem. Sometimes, the location of the lesions is helpful. If the lesions are at the base of the tail, fleas are a common cause. If the lesions are around the head, there is a stronger possibility they could be caused by mites.

    My recommendations for treatment are;

    1. Start on this special allergen Blood cleanser to remove the toxins that are causing the itchiness & symptoms you are seeing & also reduce the allergic response.

    2. Rub into her skin a Paw Paw based ointment that I will make up for her to treat the itchiness topically & to soothe the irritation. It will be safe to use even if she decides to lick it off. Order in custom prescription box as, "paw paw cream for skin irritations feline.

    3. Next treat your cat for fleas with a topical flea repellent like Frontline. It doesn't matter if you believe that your cat doesn't have fleas because if this is a flea allergy it will only take the bite of 1 flea to set off this uncomfortable process.

    4. Supplement her diet with Cold pressed cod liver oil for the Essential fatty acids it contains. Purchase from your health food store & dose at the recommend rate for a child, do this for 12 weeks.

    5. Wet the skin with colloidal silver on the red area twice daily to prevent staph infection.

    6. Implement a raw diet. NO KIBBLE NO TINNED food. Research the web for raw diets there are a 1000 sites dedicated to this.
