Wilbert was sick about a month ago for like a week we think it was salt toxicity no vet would see him we called 30 or more and everyone kept referring us to someone else! We did everything it said to do online and he is back to normal other then this skin peeling and his tail getting stiff and coming off today
Given his recent bout with what you suspect was salt toxicity, these current skin issues might be related to that episode or could indicate another underlying problem.
Skin peeling and dandruff can arise from several factors, including nutritional deficiencies, environmental conditions, or infections. The fact that his tail became stiff and eventually came off suggests a more serious issue, possibly related to circulation problems or a severe skin infection.
Firstly, ensure Wilbert is well-hydrated, as dehydration can exacerbate skin issues. Additionally, keep his living area clean and dry, providing him with a comfortable and hygienic space to rest. You might also consider applying a gentle, pet-safe moisturizer to the affected areas to help with dryness and peeling.
However, given the severity of his symptoms, especially the loss of his tail, it is crucial to have him examined by a veterinarian. This could be a sign of a serious underlying condition that requires professional treatment.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
