 New Member - New Problem
I'm sure many of you have dealt with the problem of a greasy coat. Archie was bathed a week ago last Friday, and his coat is now very greasy. He has skin allergies and is on a special veterinarian diet containing simply duck and potato, and it has stopped the allergic reaction - itching/scratching/flaking skin. I hesitate to bathe him too often because of his sensitive skin.
On a lighter note, Archie came from Yorkie Rescue, Inc., and has become THE most beautiful dog! He was very weak and sickly, heart murmur, bad knees (of course) and what the vet first thought was sarcoptic mange. (It was really just massive ear infections and his skin condition.) He was so weak that he fell down two steps and broke a toe, spending 2 of his first weeks with us in a cast!
He's very smart, after only one obedience class. (At least, we think he is!) We live way out in the sticks, so he's actually able to run free, but comes when commanded. He's extremely muscular from lots of walks (runs!) on the beach, and he's just generally, all-around changed our lives.
As a REALTOR I'm able to do a lot of work from home, so he's seldom alone for long and has fit right into our patterns.
I'm mostly concerned about his coat, which is otherwise very beautiful. Maybe there's a wipe that would eliminate some of the excess oil... |
