Well, here's the followup as promised. After the first week's application rubbing in the oil, which was wrong, her hair fell out in those spots. That's why you don't rub it in! One advantage was that I have two hairless places to apply the oil directly on the skin and just let it diffuse into the skin (as per directions). It's been almost a week since the second application and I can't see any change, but it did say it might take 3-4 weeks, and I did botch the first application. I've continued to give her the fish oil tablet. The only way to get her to take it is to pierce the capsule and squeeze it out on a tablespoon of tuna juice. She still seems itchy and there are still big globs of dandruff on her back near her tail that I can "itch" off. She gets her next treatment Monday morning and then I can bathe her again 48 hours later. Hoping the dandruff will stay gone. Stay tuned for the next exciting update.
