| Oily hair My new little Yorkie has thin hair that is soooooooooooo oily. I read that the little pups with thin hair often end up with very thick hair. This is good! But what about being so oily. Is this partly because his hair is so thin right now - is it a "puppy stage thing?" Will he outgrow it? Will this improve when his hair gets thicker? I don't mind giving him a bath a week - but more often than that might not be good for him. Any ideas or suggestions???? Carol Jean |

| Me again! I'm still hoping someone will answer my question --- regarding oily hair. I have been a Yorkie owner for about three weeks and certainly have a lot to learn. Carol Jean |

| coat I would use Dawn dish soap first..give him a good soaping with it..then use his regular shampoo..and I would hold off on a rinse or conditioner until the oily condition clears up. If it continues, the vet can prescribe a shampoo for this...best wishes I groomed for many years and had to use Dawn to get rid of shampoo build up on dozens coats...will not harm him. |
