Recognising deficiencies can be difficult, as the process is often gradual and the manifold symptoms can of course also have other causes. Therefore it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the following abnormalities and have them clarified :
- Tiredness or lack of energy
- weak immune system
- dull, lacklustre coat
- flaky skin
- increased scratching
- other behavioural changes
