Lately, I've been noticing that Lexy gets this odd look on her face whenever I touch her haunches and the base of her tail. She's fine if it's firm handling/stroking but just gentle rubbing (which she used to love) she now gets this look of what I can only call one of ecstacy but it obviously irritates her as she tries to bite me if I do. It's cleary sensitive. She's been getting a bit of dandruff of late, especially at the base of her tail around that area so I got some Viacutan and she's been taking that for about a week in her food so far.
I know it can take 4 weeks before you notice a difference, but I am wondering if the irritation she has around the area is as a result of her dry skin. Vet couldn't find anything and said that some cats do change preference for where they want to be stroked and it could just be that she doesn't want to be stroked there. It's the weird expression that gets me
I do wonder if her ligaments are giving her hassles (as she had surgery on both back legs to tighten them after dislocating knees), so just curious. I'm not freaking out (yet) that it could be something worse. Any ideas?
