Just last week, I took my cat to the vet, and she was scratching all the time.
I didn’t see any fleas on her or notice any evidence of fleas in the house.
Therefore, I was becoming concerned that she might have some sort of flu symptom or something, then all that scratching is enough to drive me crazy, as well as I figure the bad girl must be sick of it, as well. The vet looked back over her history as well as noticed that she was brought in for itching at this time of year multiple times. That is when every one of us figured out that it is the dry Wintertide air that is making her itchy. It is true that the forced air heating I use in my house does make the air drier. In fact, I don’t even adore to use the heating proposal at all because it dries out my sinuses as well as makes my lips chapped. I just never thought the gas furnace would cause my god troubles as well. Now that every one of us have it figured out, though, it is time to do something about it. I am going to try 3 things. I am going to use the gas furnace less often. If it is just slightly cold, I am going to use more blankets as well as less heating, plus, I am going to get a dehumidifier, then using the dehumidifier will likely help the cat’s itchy skin as well as my headaches. Third, I am going to feed the cat vitamin E oil capsules. I use lotion when the gas furnace is on, so she likely needs a little moistening, too… Less frequent use of the gas furnace will likely be the best thing.
