We have an indoor 11 year old, neutered male Burmese cat. In the last month his skin has become dandruff like, mainly on the lower half (waist area downwards). He has monthly 'back of neck' flea treatments and is combed regularly with a flea comb. I did wonder if it was fleas so put a flea collar on him too, but there has been no improvement and still no sightings of any fleas. I've inspected our other cats for fleas and found nothing. As a precaution I treated the house, washed all the bedding etc, but his skin is showing no signs of improvement.
Now, when combing him, it's picking up chunks of skin with hair attached and he licks the air whilst I comb him.
Thee have been no other changes in him or in the house, he's still as cuddly as ever...just with dandruff. Is there anything I can add to his diet or treat him with.
Many thanks.
