My Cat Has Dandruff

RE: My Cat Has Dandruff Post by fruityana (1) | (06/04/2008) Profile | Contact I read in a different post that you can also add a teaspoon of olive oil to your kitty's food and that will help with the problem.

I started cutting open fish oil tablets and pouring the oil on her dry food and mixing it in with my hands. In a week, it went away and her fur is back to being soft and shiny.

I brush him every single day so am looking to get something to clear it up. He eats Science Diet and that food is supposed to have a lot of oil in it.

I had to change her food. If it is rust color it is probably from fleas. Report Spam or Abuse RE: My Cat Has Dandruff Post by MissyD (211) | (05/09/2006) Contact I have a cat with dandruff also. Our vet told me to brsh her every day and after brushing her to take a warm, wet washcloth and run it over her back until she is slightly damp. It seems to have helped quote a bit and Fiona looks forward to her mini bath. Report Spam or Abuse RE: My Cat Has Dandruff Post By jean (Guest Post) (05/07/2006) What part of the back are they on? If the flakes are just around and under his tail, it may be segments of worms, and may need a vet check. If on top of the back, the fish oil capsules would probably help, becaude it is dry skin. One of my cats had this problem, and it turned out to be tapeworm.(Yuck.)

Just cut open and squeeze. I also wash him down with Basic H from Shaklee, it is an organic cleaner that does not hurt animals, but repels mosquitoes and kills fleas/mites. It nourishes his skin, makes it less itchy (in fact, I got it to clean my house because he reacted bad to Pine-sol and other cleaners) and makes his coat prettier than it was before! Please take note of what you use to clean, and watch how the animals react; they are not good for man or beast!

The only thing that seemed to work was supplementing his food with EFA oil. It is essential fatty acid oil available through such vendors as Puritan's Pride, often on sale! You spoon the correct amount in the food bowl, mix and it goes to work. It also helps with shedding problems. Also, if your pet can tolerate it, I recommend an oatmeal pet shampoo to soothe his skin (Walmart). Hope these help. Report Spam or Abuse
