She doesnt scratch that much and its very lil but I dont want it to get out of control. Is is dandruff or dry skin or are they the same and what should I use? Please help I am clueless on this. I only bath her about every 10-14 days and we use cc system

Make sure you rinse, rinse, rinse. So many times shampoo is not rinse out completely. What do you feed her? Maybe you should take her to your vet to rule out mites.

| If she is on revolution then you dont have to worry about it being mites. Chachi had mites and one of the things they did was put him on revolution. Jewels gets that too it is dry skin. You might try an oatmeal shampoo.

| Boss gets white dots, barely noticable, too. I asked the vet and he told me its just winter and its dry. He said it's just very noticable because he has such dark hair. Hope this helps
