HI and welcome. It was Corky the Stinky Yorky I think you are referring to. First of all, I recommend always going to the vet, cause it could be something entirely different than what Corky has which is severe skin allergies which turned into a yeast infection. Your yorky would also be kinda greasy if she has a yeast infection. Corky is still not 100% cured of the skin allergies but the smell, ahhh that unbelievable smell...esp. in the elevator, taxi, sitting near me...ugh....the smell is FINI!
I think the end of the smell came when I started mixing a few drops of 100% tea tree oil in his shampoo. It is spendy stuff, but really worth it, I put the amount of shampoo that I need for his bath in a small bowl, a few drops of tea tree DON'T OVERDO IT this is really POTENT stuff. Start with a little and stir, then stick your nose up to it, you'll see what I mean. You shampoo and then leave the lather on for 15 minutes before you rinse. Corky has become pretty good about it now and doesn't even cry, he seems to know mom's coming back before too long. Also to treat the allergy, I am using a prescription cortizone cream.
Something else I read on YT & haven't tried yet but is harmless is to put a dry oatmeal shampoo on your Yorkie. There are recipes on the net for making your own. You just rub it on them and after a few minutes brush it off. Good luck, I know what your going through. |
