Hey guys! I'm having a little bit of a worry. A few weeks ago, my little Khaki girl seemed to be stopped up. She wasn't "going" much, and wouldn't eat much. She was still up and about running marathons all night and was very cuddly with me (which is odd, as she's still usually pretty huffy) and generally acting fine. I started to get really worried, she wouldn't even go in the tub, and normally she goes 3 or 4 times. I called the vet, and she must have known that she was going, because that night she had a bunch of pretty smelly poos. So...now she seems back to normal. I called a local breeder, and she suggested I change from the cat litter made with corn to a paper or wood bedding. I changed to yesterdays' news and fleece over half. I tend to not like the cat litter, I can't really see the color/consistency of her poos.
ANYWAY....ever since all this happened, her skin has been super dry. I don't know if it was because I gave her 3 baths in a week (usually just foot-ish baths to try and go over her rump to get her to go) or the new bedding or what. When I hold her on me or the bed, I can see the dandruff she leaves. Should I put the aveno baby oil that I used to soothe her when she was quilling? Should I have her checked for mites? She doesn't really itch, but I do hear it every once in a while. What do you guys think?
