Cat question

I have a pursian cat. He is about 3.5 years old. He has VERY long hair. I brush him most everyday. A few weeks back, we noticed he kept bitting at his back, down by his tail. I noticed his skin was kinda flakey looking so we gave him a bath with some special shampoo thats supposed to nourish the coat. We have used this shampoo on him before.

I went to the pet store and asked them about it. They said to buy him this special (and of course, more expansive food) thats supposed to help with the skin and coat. So, I swiyched his food about a week ago, she said it may take a month before it gets better. In the meantime, I also bought some spray on conditioner stuff for cats and have been spraying him every few days. He is still digging and bitting himself! He has a few scabs and I just feel awful for him!

I thought I remember hearing once about giving animals raw eggs on there food??? Anyone know anything about this or have any other suggestions. I'm hoping the new food will help in the long run but I'd like to make him more comfortable right now! Any ideas?
