From time to time our 5 months old kitten gets these lumps around her neck, scratches at them like crazy and she ends up with a wide open wound. I took her to the vet already 5 times for the same problem, everytime the vet gives her antibiotics but it doesn't seem to help because it comes back again after about 3 weeks.
Have anyone seen this before? The vet is saying something like an infection under the skin but I wonder what other options are there other than a trip to the vet every 3 weeks and antibiotics all the time. Those can't be good for the cat all the time, can they?
I am also considering a second opinion from another vet but it will take awhile to locate another english speaking one -- we're in Belgium and I don't speak french well enough for these type of things.
Thanks for any ideas.
