Medical history…

I (Hickory) developed some sore lesions around my face/lips/chin when I was a younger kitten. They would disappear and then I developed new ones so when I was neutered I had a biopsy which confirmed I had something called Eosinophilic granuloma complex (EGC). It is a common group of skin problems, often caused by an allergy, that causes inflammation of the skin. There are three different forms, which are grouped mainly because they tend to display similar signs and are often treated in the same way. EGC is generally a manageable, allergic reaction, not a fatal condition, and cats can often live a normal life with proper treatment if necessary, though it may require lifelong, intermittent medication to control possible flare-ups. further information can be found via the link here…https://icatcare.org/articles/eosinophilic-granuloma-complex-in-cats. Please dont let my skin issue put you off from adopting us if you feel you can help me because I am otherwise a young healthy boy and have been doing very well and have not needed any treatment for my condition yet. I am on a hypoallergenic diet which I am doing well on. It is worth noting insurance wont cover my condition but if I require treatment it would not be too costly and this is manageable without insurance unless complications occur in the future.

Aside from my skin condition, we are healthy and happy young boys.
