I zapped the FML with the post about itchy skin, so I couldn't reply personally to whoever needs help. But here's what we did. Gizmo, our insulinomic guy, has always been pretty itchy. After his adrenal surgery in Feb., he got even worse. So the vet put him on this stuff called DermCaps in liquid. Gizmo gets .2cc every nite just before bed. Gizmo's fur grew back in beautifully (don't know if that's the DermCaps or not), and his itching has reduced considerably. It took about 2-3 weeks of consistent use for results to actually show. But he seems much better now. He skin feels alot softer and smoother. === Aileen & the herd Slinky, Gizmo, Kyle, Noel, & Sandy "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
