Hello,
My female Turkish Angora had 4 pretty kittens 6 weeks ago, but two, one of them especially now have a very dry coat. They seem to be healthy otherwise, lots of energy, great appetite, big smile. But it's a big contrast, since their two siblings have the silkiest and fluffiest fur ever. But the two little ones who came out last have very coarse hair, even though their mom grooms them regularly.
They are on a raw food diet while still nursing, and there is always water out, although they don't drink munch of it yet - they prefer mommy's milk
Not sure if this is temporary, and common in kittens, or if I should be adding some supplements to their already very healthy diet, or maybe use some kind of conditioner?? Don't have a lot of extra money hanging around to take them to the vet just for this, so any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance!
PS. Vets are RIDICULOUSLY expensive as I found out (they charged me $220 at the emergency clinic for 15 minute's work with no medication involved), and feline medication costs more than the human kind. Is this ethically correct??..
