Does anyone have a recommendation for an anti itch shampoo I can bathe Isis is to try and stop her itching? I want to try this but I don't know if the ingredients are ok for cats and I don't want to risk Isis' life for it... Here are the ingredients:
\t

Helps to decrease your pet's itching associated with allergies and other skin disorders. Soothing & calming! For dogs and cats over 8 weeks of age Saponified organic coconut, olive and jojoba oils, natural essential oil blend including naturally extracted lavender, organic aloe and naturally extracted rosemary as a natural preservative.


Does it sound ok to use on her?

I can't view the ingredient list, but ideally you would probably want something hypoallergenic and tearless (we all know how much cats 'love' baths!). I have found Therapet's line of shampoos to work really well in many situations involving allergies. I love the Blackberry lilac; I have really seen good results with regular use. There are many fine products out there though.

You will have to bath her regularly too, not just once in a great while, or when her skin gets itchy and flakey again; in order to combat the allergins and their results you need to keep her skin cleansed of them.

I was just about to recommend an oatmeal shampoo


What I use for itchy coats - Baby Johnson Oatmeal and Honey for Babies.
Though there are some other real "cat shampoos" that have oatmeal in them.

Good luck!

This won't hurt Isis if I use it on her will it?? She's recovering from open sores and still itchy so that's why I want to get her something to help with the itchies..

Well, I don't bathe cats with open sores. Hmmmm lemme think about it and also check to see if some of the other products I use are available in the US.

no, no, no... yikes!
She is recovering from them. She doesn't have any open sores anymore. I checked her over throughly and unless she scratches one opened, her ouchies are healing well.
I just feel so bad for her because everytime I see her, she's scratching or biting at herself. So I wanted to see if there was a shampoo that could help her stop scratching.
I'm sorry if you thought she had sores that weren't healed yet, I guess I didn't word that correctly.
