I've used Chlorhexyderm shampoo when my guys get to losing tail hair from acne. I only need to do this once or twice a year on the ones who get it bad. My big jib, who's not descented gets it the worse. I also have a tiny albino rescue that has a problem with it. A vet recommended more fatty acids to my step-Mom for one of hers. She feeds the IAMS kitten, so this probably doesn't hurt. Any input on this? I'm also feeding my 2yo ins. ferret a mix of ground TFand what I feed my skunks-Skunkie Delight. It's got cooked grains, vitamins, Taurine, cold-processed oil, egg, and raw ground turkey. My concern is that there isn't enough fat. The cold-processed oil is vegetable based. I'm wondering if adding fatty acids would help. I'm also interested in which grain would be easiest digested. I use rolled oats for the skunks. I've started him on Pred and he seems to be stabilized. He doesn't want to eat dry TF. Carla (the one with the skunks!) [Posted in FML issue 3123]
