Hi, just browsing through and thought I'd add my 2 cents worth. I
have 2 cats that get a flaky dandruff looking stuff on their backs
near their tails. One is a short hair, the other a long hair. The
long hair has this flaky stuff all over his back and back legs.

Anyway, I trimmed there hair fairly short. Rubbed in coconut oil
becuase that won't them and it helps hairballs and let them run
around outdoors on a warm day. Then, I bathed them in mild shampoo
and did a final rinse with about a tablespoon of vinegar in about 2
cups of water. I didn't rinse the vinegar off.

I did this treatment twice a week for 2 weeks and it cleared it up.
I find that every spring I need to trim and vinegar rinse the long
haired one. Oh, after their coat dries they won't smell like
vinegar.
