| Scabs down back For a couple of years, my little pup has had scabs down his back. I have taken him to several vets who have given me different medicated shampoos (Pyoben and Sebolux) but it never has taken care of the problem. It doesn't bother him at all, and he never itches or bites at it. Honestly, it probably bothers me more than him. I've done a bit of research and am thinking it might be one of two things, and just wanted someone's advice to see if I was on the right path. There have been a few posts on this forum about yorkie skin, and I thought this might be the best place to get answers from concerned parents.... I am thinking it might be Seborrhea or Comedo Syndrome (is that possible?). Anyone have any knowledge or experience that they could share with me? Thank you to anyone who might stumble upon this and share their expertise... |

| I can't guess but.... I am wondering if you considered food. Are you feeding him a premium food free of corn and wheat? That might be a place to start.

| My Trixie was diagnosed with Seborrhea last year. Although it ended up being mites, she had all the symptoms of Seborrhea. No scabs though at that time, just really really oily skin and bad smell.
