kitty acupuncture?

[dahdahdahdancer.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know of a local cat acupuncturist? I've tried everything to help my cat get over her habit of pulling out her fur with her teeth (vet exams, tests for parasites/infections etc. (negative), changing food several times, medications (first prednisone, now cyclosporine), and so on. I'm thinking I have to go holistic. She's getting mighty impressive bald spots on her tummy and legs.

My mother's cat does this too, and we've never found a solution. The vet thinks it's allergies, as others have mentioned. I know this doesn't help at all, but you're certainly not alone! Mom's kitty has done it for years and she's all right, just with spindly, bald legs sometimes. She's also a very anxious and ornery cat, so maybe that has something to do with it?

In any case, good luck with your kitty!
