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
My recommendations for treatment are;
1. Start on the Miliary Dermatitis Blood cleanser to remove the toxins that are causing the itchiness & symptoms you are seeing & also to reduce the allergic response.
2. Rub into the irritated skin the Paw Paw based ointment. To soothe irritation & address infection.
3. Next treat as 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 the 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. Apply colloidal silver to the irritated areas twice daily to prevent staph infection.
