Cat with hair loss and dandruff
One of my cats (7yo female neutered DSH), has what looks like a dry skin problem. She is completely black except for her stomach and bottom of her paws which are white. 3 mos ago she lost some fur on her forepaws which the local vet diagnosed as a flea allergy. She had one dose of frontline. I saw that the frontline was an insecticide which I felt uncomfotable giving them. I started her on a B-vitamin for cats which was to create a flea repellant. (It is called Flea-Tabs)
The B-vitamin has actually made her fur better. However I have noticed one thing. Just after she had the frontline, I started seeing very minute white flake speckles in her fur, not alot but when I brush her more come out. I thought these were flea eggs, but she doesn’t seem bothered by them and is not scratching. They look like dandruff. My question is what could these be?
