Hi and thanks for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You are not alone in having trouble getting Trouble into a carrier. A lot of cat owners have issues with this. Unfortunately, the only way Trouble will be diagnosed is at her veterinarian where they can run a few skin tests to determine what her skin issue may be caused by. The most common cause of itching in cats and dogs is actually a flea allergy. It only takes one flea to induce a flea allergy, so making sure Trouble is on a flea preventative monthly can help to rule out a flea allergy. Best of luck to you and I hope Trouble is able to see her veterinarian soon!
