    Pickles has very dry skin

    Hello everyone!
    I'm hoping for a bit of advice.
    We have a lovely tuxedo cat, named Pickles. He is about 2 years old, and we have had him for a year.
    Pickles was badly injured, with a broken jaw and tail. He was dumped at our local RSPCA, where luckily they nursed him back to health.
    He has come so far in the year we have had him. He was so scared when he first arrived but he has come out of his shell and will now approach visitors to our house (though it does take him a while to work up his courage!)
    Anyways, Pickles has a lot of dandruff, particularly around his tail and back legs. We brush him daily but it doesn't seem to do any good. And his fur isn't dry, rather it is lovely and silky. I'm hesitant to take him to the vet if there is a simple solution, because Pickles gets VERY upset when we take him outside of the house. Much more so than is normal. For his last annual check up Pickles was hyperventilating, and days later he lost clumps of fur from the stress.
    Is there anything likely to be missing from his diet, or does anyone have any suggestions?
    I've attached a picture of this special boy, he send his thanks in advance!
    Louise
