Could be nerves, allergies to environment and/or food, what people have, animals can too. How about seeing a specialist in endocrinology seeing 3 vets are baffled. Maybe a hormone/chemical inbalance could also be going on. Try going to vetinfo.com. Have they done a skin scraping, to see for a certain kind of tricky mite? There are many avenues to go and all will be costly. Read the internet too, search the symptoms. I had a cat for yrs that was misdiagnosed only to surely finger the illness as IBD, the havoc it wreaks throughout the various body organs. Meanwhile, try washing kitty in a Microtek shampoo and try giving Program liquid, now known to benefit the skin and fur. You give it at double-dose for ist time, then wait and see for 2-3 weeks, then give double packet for his weight again if needed, then once a month as directed. One of my Persians had severe RW, vaccine did nothing, shots did nothing. Program cured his dry flaky skin, and his fur is so thick now. I was so thrilled that I called Novartis vets! Good luck now.
