Help! My Cat Has Bumps & Scabs!
“Dear Dr. Paola,
Daisy is a 4-year-old, indoor cat and never goes outside, she is a little overweight but not obese. She has some bumps on her back near the base of her tail that are like pimples with scabs and has started to have dandruff. She doesn’t seem to be itching them but I can see that they irritate some because I’ve seen her look at the area and move like it bothers her. I think it is a diet problem but I don’t know. She only eats dry food but good quality, Blue Buffalo, Iams, etc. Would a supplement be in order? What might she be missing?” – William
