Hello! Both of my little ones seem to be suffering from dry skin but one in particular has some scabbing going on where he keeps scratching :( . Is there anything I can put on him to help soothe these scabs? Thank you!
 
Hello :)
I think you would be best to take them to the vets. Is there hair loss as well? It could be a mild case of mange. The vets will know what is wrong, and will be able to tell you what to do :)

If you are sure that its just dry skin, then I believe you can get tea tree cream from shops like pets at home to soothe sore skin. Only use that if you and your vet are sure that its not anything like mites, lice, or mange as if it is, the cream will probably not help the problem and possibly make it worse.
Xx
