My 11-year-old cat Hester seems to have terrible skin all of a sudden. Her skin is so dry and flaky with dandruff all over, she's been over-grooming and has thin spots on her back, stomach, arms, and the base of her tail. She also has an outbreak of acne on her chin. The vet said it could be parasites or allergies, but she's been treated for all possible parasites and her food hasn't changed. He also said it could be because we live in a very dry climate. Anything else it could be? Any tests I should ask for? If it is just dry skin, what do I do?
