Quigley has developed a bad case of dandruff. He’ll be 2 years and 6 months old next week and I wondered whether it was just an age thing? Or could it be mites?

It hasn’t showed up very well in the picture but there is a lot of dandruff close to the skin. It’s as though someone has sprinkled grains of salt all over him!

Otherwise he is doing well. If it could be something serious we will take him to the vet but don’t want to stress him out unnecessarily.
