Wouldn't use corn oil to be honest, fish oils would be better for her.

Shes on a dry food "especially designed for the coat and skin" apparently!! She loves it!!

My Dad (just spoken to him on the phone) said that his cat had the same thing and he added corn oil to the food!! I have corn oil in the cupboard!! Will have a look on that website!

Thanks!!
For a man to truly understand rejection, he must first be ignored by a cat.

Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

It could be but more likely dry skin. You could add fish oils or evening primrose to her food or look at what vet uk have for skin eg viacutan http://www.vetuk.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5_15
Or get a dry food for coat and skin, i think royal canin make one.  :shify:

Dandruff/Dry Skin

Just been grooming Menue and she appears to have dandruff/dry, flakey skin which is only noticeable when she is being brushed. Some of the flakes were pretty big, whilst others were tiny.

Could it possibly be mites or something?
