I noticed that Penny had some flaky stuff on her back today. I took a closer look this evening and found that her skin is dry and flaking off in the area immediately behind her ears.
Penny is on her 2nd month's dose of Revolution for ear mites. Her 2nd dose was given last Friday, 5/14. When she got her first dose, I did check her out for fur mite evidence but did not find any. This dandruffy stuff is new. There's flaking only in the spot behind her ears which is almost exactly where I poured her Revolution. The fur in that area of her neck had felt fairly chalky for several days which in my experience from last month was normal residue from the drops of medication. Is it possible that her skin is sensitive to the drop and it's drying off and shedding now a week later?
I didn't really notice it this much last month, but I wasn't really looking to be honest. Her bond mate, Kirby, does not have any flaky stuff on his fur. Just Penny, and just in that one spot.
