Anyone tried Dermoscent Essential 6 Spot On for cats?

Just an update on Kinsey's dry skin. After the 4 applications of Dermoscent, I've decided to discontinue using it. I'm not sure that I saw much improvement, but I probably should have continued for at least four more weeks to really give it a fair trial. But due to the high cost and since I continue to give her the fish oil capsule every day, I just couldn't justify it. I think it or the fish oil has improved her coat a little, though I still see some big dandruff flakes (but less than before). I will continue the fish oil and we're trying the Nature's Variety Instinct and hope for the best. And Nikita seems to like the Instinct also, but he's as itchy as ever. I will be patient, krazyaboutkatz, and give it 6 to 8 weeks to see an improvement.

Well, I'm sad to say that Kinsey dry skin has not be alleviated. I continue to give her the fish oil capsule, but the patch on her back near the tail doesn't seem flaky anymore, but I can see little sores and the patch has gotten bigger. I'm taking her to the vet in the morning. Of course I've searched the internet and found a google image that looks exactly like her back and it's a picture of a cat (or maybe a dog) with a severe flea bite allergy. The wierd thing is, I really don't think we have fleas. I've had them before and know what they look like, no signs of flea dirt, no signs of fleas on her or Nikita, no signs of fleas fleeing when I've bathed her. I suppose it's possible that a flea might have gotten into the house somehow, but it seems logical to think they would have left behind eggs which would lead to a full fledged infestation and that one flea to bite her on the back seems farfetched. Oh, well. Hope he can help. I'd even settle for a cortisone shot to give her some relief. She's been eating the grain free Instinct food, but not long enough yet to tell if it's helping her coat and itching. She does throw it up a little, but I'm not sure it's more or less than what she did in the past. I took their food away before I left for work (I work nights) so when I take her in the morning, they can do fasting bloodwork. She developed hypothyroidism after being treated with radio active iodine for hyperthyroidism, so she's been taking thyroid medication twice a day, and she's about due for a bloodwork checkup.
