Hi there. My 14 year old cat recently developed dandruff. I haven't changed a thing with his diet and I live in CA and so the climate doesn't really change much either. He's a strictly indoor cat who eats an all-wet food diet of Wellness canned turkey (I've tried making his food, but he won't eat it). He has other issues - IBD and early kidney problems, but he's been on budesonide for his IBD and I give him glandulars and fluids for his kidneys (BUN went from 42 to 29 because of this!).

Anyway, just last night when I was brushing him I noticed dandruff. His stools are always quite dry also. Maybe I should add oil to his diet for the dandruff and dry stools? He's a very picky eater, so adding holistic remedies doesn't usually work with him.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Lisa
