I have treated him with frontline in case it was a flea problem. I don't think he is stressed but who realy knows.
I was interested to read Tinks post on the use of Prozac as our other Cat is exessively nervous and is getting worse.

My Minnie was being treated for Hyperthyroidism and after 2 weeks began constantly washing and scratching herself.I kept finding fur all round the house.Took her to the vets.They checked her over and decided although the tablets where working(she had put on weight)she was having a reaction to them,the skin inside her ears was very red.She had to stop taking them and we had the operation.All the scratching and washing stopped.Just thought id let you know of my experience.
