My cat has developed some kind of nervous twitch where the skin on her back and sometimes on her paws jerks, or pulsates to where it can be seen.  When this occurs, the cat trys to bite the area and it looks as if she's attacking herself.  She bites and bites and pulls out her hair.  She is on Revolution, so I know it's not fleas, she's an indoor cat as well..  It started when my 160lb Rotweiler, (who I keep far away from my cat) got loose and chased her.  It scared her to the point that I couodn't even touch her without her hissing at me for a few minutes.  2 days later, she is having this tick where her skin shimmies, like a chill, and she bites the area.  It is driving her mad, she runs frantically around the room when it happen until, now it's happening more frequently.  I called my vet, and she said it could be psychological?  She has recently been to the vet to have her teeth cleaned and has had all tests done, what could this be?

Vet question of the day

Add to Purchasing puppy with one blue eye
I am looking to purchase a Tibetan Spaniel puppy who is white and sable parti color. His left eye has a sable patch around it. The right side of his face is white. Instead of being black, his right eyelids are pink and he has a blue ring around his pupil. What has caused this? What problems may he encounter due to this? Is it hereditary? AND can it be passed on to his offspring? The breeder says he is not blind. Thank you! - Click here to read the answer
