Hmmmmmmm does he lick it prior to the sores forming???? if so have you ever thought of trying this stuff called like 'sour apple spray' it's made for pets with licking problems....nasty taste to it but doesn't harm them in any way.....we had to use it on my dog for the longest time....worked pretty well.   |

My mum and dad have found that if you keep putting something on like a non-toxic zinc cream or something after a few licks the cat hates the taste and it will associate meddling with it's sores with a bad tatste. This has to be done a few times but it does work apparently!  |

Thanks Becky..Yeah he licks them prior to the bloody sore.But that's jsut to stop him licking the sore.He'd probably do more.And he's such a pretty boy.He's up on the USM junkies page with me.He has long fur and I'd hate him ahve to re-grow alot of it.As his fur takes long to grow. *Canuck Hugs* -des  |

Could it be that his skin is dry? Have you tried brushing or massaging with your fingers to stimulate oil glands? My cat loves people to pet her but she is very testy about her back and hind area. However when she starts with the licking and constant cleaning she will allow me to place her on the floor facing away and give her a good complete body scratch from head to toe. She stretches herself out and when she has had enough she pulls herself up. It also helps to remove a lot of unshed hair that she ends up licking up during her cleanings. I did this today because I noticed she has been cleaning herself a lot lately, low and behold she has a bit of flaking in her coat from her skin. Could he possible be trying to hydrate his own skin and get his oil glands working but over doing it?  |

It sounds like a nervous habit, like people who bite thier nails etc... try buying "Bitter Apple" or "Bitter Lime" an all natural spray that makes them taste yucky so they don't lick, and ask your dog about some cortisone or maybe a sedative  |
