Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 5 months old | 6 lbs
My cats are still coming up with these red balls that scratch. I was with him at the vet, he did all sorts of injections, baths and skin and fur treatments, but the stains are all over again. I am very worried. What could it be?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is just no way to diagnose this just based on a description. This may be due to allergies for example. This could also be some sort of infection perhaps. This requires further diagnostics which would be done based on an exam. Your veterinarian would be better able to proceed with the needed diagnostics to try to determine what may be wrong. I would highly recommend you have him reevaluated by his veterinarian since things have worsened again. They may be able to proceed with further diagnostics and treatments accordingly. Good luck!
