Why does my cat suddenly have dander??? It's all over the house! Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 years and 9 months old | 9 lbs

A sudden onset of dander may indicate infection or irritation to the skin. Unless there has been a recent diet change (a poorer quality food could also cause this) within the last month could also cause dander. I recommend to have Lynxie examined by the veterinarian to rule out disease. A diet like Royal Canin and an additional omega 3 fatty acid supplement for pets will help with dry skin if this is related to diet. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
