Animals, like humans, sometimes experience dandruff, which is troublesome as itching occurs. You can cope with the problem by reviewing the cat's diet, as well as performing a number of procedures aimed at moisturizing the skin.
It is necessary
- - vitamin supplements;
- - burdock or olive oil;
- - a series;
- - shampoo with zinc and salicylic acid.
Instructions
Step 1
Show the cat to your veterinarian. Often, skin problems are associated with hormonal imbalances, liver disease, parasites, or improper feeding of the animal.
Step 2
Reconsider the cat's diet if no abnormalities are found in the tests. In some cases, dandruff is caused by a lack of essential micronutrients and excess dietary supplements. Dry food is not the best option, so if you can, feed the animal with regular food. Lean beef, chicken, fish, vegetables and cereals will do. Add half a capsule of vitamin A to food per day. It is good if your veterinarian will create an individual diet for your cat, which will be developed taking into account the age needs.
Step 3
Buy a special cat shampoo that includes zinc and salicylic acid. Check it out at the zoological store. Zinc has a positive effect on the skin and helps to fight dandruff. Salicylic acid is necessary for the speedy healing of the places that the cat scratched with its claws.
Step 4
Use olive oil or burdock oil. Rub it into the skin of the animal before washing. The dandruff will disappear after a few procedures, and the itching will cease to bother the first time. Add fat-based vitamins A and E to the oil.
Step 5
Rinse the animal's fur with the infusion of the series. Brew 3 tablespoons of herbs in a liter of boiling water, leave for about an hour. Use the broth every other day. If you do not plan to wash your cat, just slightly dampen his skin with a cotton pad soaked in the infusion.
Step 6
Give your cat special vitamin complexes. They will help keep your pet's skin and coat healthy. Observe the dosage strictly, otherwise allergies may appear. Consult with a specialist about which drug to choose.
