Kinsey, my Cornish Rex, is about 10 years old and in November she was treated for hyperthyroidism (the expensive radio active iodine kind) which worked instantly. She then became one of those rare cats to develop hypothyroidism. She went from 4lbs 3 oz (skeletal, practically hairless) to her present portly self--11 lbs (no doubt) and her fur grew in but not really wavy. One of the symptoms of hypothyroidism is dry but greasy fur, which she had (and obesity). She's now on thyroid medication and her fur became more normal, but then I noticed her scratching alot and she had dandruff. I tried the fish oil capsules from the vet, but then they showed me a brochure for Dermoscent Essential 6 Spot-On for cats. I think it's the same French company that makes the flea spot on treatments. Sounded good, so I had them order me some. It's expensive (4 pipettes $21.50!, but I might be able to get it cheaper online). One pipette a week for 8 weeks and then 1 pipette every 2 weeks. You're supposed to apply directly to skin in 1 or 2 places on the shoulders or neck, and NOT rub in. Of course, I did massage it in (duh! read the directions). So next application I will let it "automatically diffuse over animal’s body".
Anyway, if it actually does work to
" Maintains and supports the integrity of the hydrolipidic film
• Supports a balanced cutaneous ecosystem
• Purifies and helps prevent skin irritations due to skin dehydration
• Deodorises yet respects the animal’s own smell
• Helps diminish non seasonal hair loss and sustains hair growth
• Protects by its antioxidant effect to combat free radicals"
and she has a glossy, dandruff free, non-itchy, maybe wavier coat, it might just be worth it if I can find it cheaper or stretch out the applications.
Would love to hear if anyone has used this product and I'll update as the weeks pass.
