 Dandruf..?

Hello i have a question concerning my cat, Lucy. Well this morning when i woke up she was COVERED in white flakes, which appeared to be dandruff. I brushed her and looked under her coat where there was flakes there aswell. Now this has happened before (the flakes/dandruff) but never to this extent.

I was wondering if there’s anything i can do to improve the quality of her coat. My last vet visit said her coat was beautiful, but these flakes are quite nasty.

Thanks alot!

Hey Jane,
My orange tabby jasmine...who besides being a bit plump...has a dandruff problem. To her dismay, she gets a regular bath per the vets instruction. I use mild "people" dandruff shampoo. Head and shoulders exactly. Just a little. Although she hates the water..it helps more than 75% I would say. I do this about every two weeks. Thats the best I can offer!

Did you recently change her food?

We were feeding out cat regular cat food, and then switched to a bag of senior cat food because we had an extra bag left over from our relatives cat that passed away. We wanted to use up the senior cat food. After a few weeks, our cat was very flakey. There was kitty dandruff everywhere. We tried using olive oil and eggs mixed in the food as recommended by the vet, but it still continued since we were feeding him senior food. We finally ran out of that food and started feeding the regular cat food again...and no more dandruff.
