Oily fur

our 12 yo cat CC was diagnosed with diabetes about two months ago. One of the symptoms that prompted me to take her to the vet was an excessively Oily coat.

It's gotten a bit better since starting insulin and she started feeling better, but still Oily. She also has arthritis for which we give her cosequine, which could also be the reason for a lack of grooming.

Is there anything we can do besides a full on bath? We may loose a hand attempting that. Haha. We do occasionally wipe her with baby wipes but I thought someone might have other ideas.

Hi Janet, I don't have any answers for you, but I think you'd get more responses if you post your question in the health forum. BTW love the avatar!

 

Thanks! I moved it to the other section. Yeah my son was building tracks around her so she could be a giant monster in the city. Boys are weird. Lol
