LOL, is he yawning or yelling at you?

Yawing,
I told him to "come here" and was going to scratch his belly
and this all I got.

Great pic! You should post it in the 'yawns' forum!
Poor little belly, do you know why he's licking his fur off?

 

[Sean]

Where is that forum?

He would stop if I put him back on the prednisone.
We also tried amitriptyline and that was useless.

The last time he was on prednisone was just before he
had that major bladder stone issue and cost me $4400.00
Dr Dill and I have talked it over a few times and I am still
not sure if I want to try it again or not. It does work. BUT.

So is it a skin ailment or allergies or ? Does your vet think the prednisone contributed to the bladder stone? If that's the case that really sucks. I wonder if there is something topical you could put on it that would be safe in case he tries to like it off. Have you tried aloe gel?

I had a cat once that licked her belly clean. For over a year. Turned out to be hyperthyroidism. Easily fixed. Belly fur back.
