Rough and Dry Skin at Red Cat?

[DarkWing]

Okay... my third sphynx is a red one she seems to have very soft and sensitive skin. Normaly i bath all of them with a shampoo for dogs with mink oil and a peeling glove ( not one who is extreme hard ist more a soft one). For Caprica and Lunar it works fine but they are blue and black tabby... so much darker as Missy. Missy need to lick herself to get a redish spot on that part where she was licking. So that globe ist to hard for her. i use a normal microfiber washrag for her. After bathing everything is great a few hous later her head, neck, brest and shoulders and tail are dry and rough with a few scalles. they are soft and fine. She also had no real redish only in the wrinkels and that not realy much....

What can i use for her to moister her skin ... oil like olive and coconut sadly not long help...... which cream i can use?

It sounds like that shampoo is too harsh for you new cat. Maybe look into a soap free hypoallergenic or a oatmeal wash for pets.

You shouldnt need to wash often my dermo said which was contradictory to the breeders advice as dry skin indicates the natural oils have been stripped if you start to see the oil then softly wipe over with a soft cotton flannel and the dermo was right took me awhile to believe this but all cats are different

i do not wash them often.... in winter all 3-4 weeks in summer all 2-3 weeks depends on how dirty and oily they are ..... so washing can´t it be too..

Perhaps they need a cat omega supplement. Change to cotton bedding

Try bathing her in this once a week for a while, it's good.

Allergic reaction? Food? Try just Castile soap unscented? Is it only after you wash? Or get worst? Sun exposure? Just in one area? Or all over

I had the same problem. I changed shampoo and my breeder told me to use vitamin e cream.
