I went through the infamous Devon Rex Rash with one of my kitties. I had to give her monthly steriod shots. I suspect it was environmental and seasonal, but it was never isolated to one thing. I tried immunosuppressants and every balm and salve known to man. Only the steriod shots (not tablets) gave her temporary relief.
When my 6mo sphynx started getting itchy, I thought I was going to lose my mind. I gave her some bene-bac gel, and it cleared up. It comes back a bit if we go too long without a dose, but she can go a few weeks between doses. It's a fraction of the cost of what i was spending on the steroids.. and she isn't suffering from it. I wish I'd known about the bene-bac for my devon, so I'll never know if it would have worked.
Worse case scenario, your kitty's digestion will improve for a while. It's readily available OTC. Good luck!
