Cat with eczema
Hello, our cat seems to eczema (or dandruff, I'm not sure if there's a
difference). Against my better judgement the cat's other parent started bathing it, and it was a little while after this that the eczema started. I'm something of a minimalist when it comes to cat care, and throughout my childhood we never bathed any cats, and they always kept themselves perfectly clean. So to be honest, I'm a bit suspicious of the whole cat-bathing concept. The vet prescribed some tea-tree-oil shampoo, so now the cat is being bathed with that, which cures the problem for a short time, but it soon comes back, needing more bathing. I'm tempted to stop the bathing altogether, which will mean living with a flakey cat for a while, but I wonder if the cat's coat and skin will right itself and the problem will go away. Any thoughts on any of this? Incidentally, the problem seems to be a purely cosmetic one, and the cat itself is entirely unconcerned (except it's not too fond of baths). Cheers! Martin |
