Question:  Does anyone have a suggestion on how to improve the
skin condition, seen mostly on Cockers, that leaves the skin thick,
and scaley?  It occurs mostly in the folds.
Question:  How do you make a shaved cat look
good?
To my defense, I would normally have scissored
around the legs, to blend them in better with
the body, but by the time I got to this point the
cat was really (bleep) off.  Cats are easier to do
with an assistant, but if you are alone
sometimes you have to cut your losses and quit
while you still have skin.
Good luck.

That icky cocker crud is probably yeast and a diet with lots of plain yogurt and
bathing in chlorhexidine should help as will keeping those area very dry, and
hey a bit of Monistat certainly is worth a try!  : )   

Thanks Sandy for the info.
