One of my minis has a pretty good case of dandruff on his shoulders. I discovered it working him today giving him some extra good scratches for his good behavior. I looked down and he looked like he had been standing in a snow flurry. He's black, so it was pretty obvious. I parted his fur (and it is super thick) and found the skin to be nasty with flakes. He gets groomed almost every day but his winter coat hid alot.
It does not look like rain rot at all but I washed the areas with medicated shampoo. Does anyone have suggestions about a good supplement that might help with the dryness?
He is on Remission and Vit E. He gets timothy pellets and good quality second cut hay. I can't feed ration balancers because they makes him "fizzy" both in disposition and in his belly (gas).
Last year he had the itchys when his winter coat came in but is was in early Oct. so I'm not sure if this might be related.
I'll be worming him with ivermectin too, I sometimes have good luck with that clearing up the odd skin issue that pops up, depending on what it is.
Thanks from me and Wee-nut.
