( TW blood/ wounds)

So background with my cat, he has always been an excessive licker, to the point where my long haired cat didn’t clean himself almost at all, artemis(fhs cat) di it for him and at night he licks me a lot. But around August of 2025, he chewed a quarter sized hole on himself and docs weren’t rlly much help in the beginning, I originally thought it was anxiety or depression so I used onsies and cones(soft and hard) he chewed through the onsies and soft cones… so I got him on Prozac, didn’t help, and I’ve tried gabapentin, didn’t work, well he’s still on it. I also got him flea prevention meds just in case and it hasn’t helped. I recently this last week got him on Amitriptyline, and I had to take him off it cuz he started puking a lot from it so I had to take him off it. In August will be a year of him using a cone and I feel so bad for him, it’s no way for a cat to live yk… another side note is every time he gets his cone off( which is multiple times a week) he goes for his same spots and reopens old/healing wounds so I’m just here asking if anyone knows if there’s any meds I could try to see if it can numb his nervous system. I’m at the point where I can try 2-3 more meds before I have to put him down, it’s not fair he is living in pain and just having a cone on 24/7. Ik tho is all over the place im just so defeated bro hes my damn baby, he’s turning 6 in November, I’ve had him since he opened his eyes. And the thing is he’s a normal cat outside of the mutilation and besides if I touch or pet his sensitive spots( nose, right side torso, hind legs and base of his tail) my current cat doc has been very helpful with trying new meds but idk

Been trying meds for my kitty
