Hello,
I was able to obtain real, unflavored oatmeal. I would like to start bathing my 7 mo old boy Palas every 2 weeks because he has a strange skin problem that I think is being helped by bathing.
(Brief history: Got checked by vet and it is not mange, ringworm, fleas, ticks, or ear mites. He is indoor only. The spots do itch but doesn't drive him nuts...just a few swats occasionally. All appear on his head, neck, shoulders. They are a little bloody and lose hair the size of quarters and dimes and get better with topical skin treatment. I believe it's a skin allergy...possibly to the scented clumping litter dust...not sure.)
Obviously, I can't just do an oatmeal bath in the bathtub and allow all that oatmeal to go down the drain. Does anyone do this or have any advice for doing this? Right now I'm bathing him with a flea shampoo for cats but he doesn't have fleas and that's all I have for him right now.
