I would get a good dandruff shampoo like T-Gel or Nizorel and bath her every other day for a week. Rinse very well. The next week you should be able to bath her twice a week and see how that goes.
Bathing is the easiest first step to see how she does with it. Also if you find some "derm-caps" (supplement) those can help with skin from the inside.
Always check with the vet if things don't get better. |
I HAVE A YORKIE THAT HAS ALWAYS HAD GREASY HAIR. LAST NIGHT I NOTICED THAT HIS NECK HAS A LARGE BALD SPOT WITH FOUR KNOTS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF HIS NECK AND IT HAS A GREASY FILM-LIKE ON IT AND HIS ELBOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING. HIS SCRATCHING WENT OVER-BOARD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND HIS HAIR WAS COMING OUT BY THE HANDFUL. I BATHED HIS IN WARM WATER WITH BABY SHAMPOO AND PUT CLEAR CALAMINE ON THE IRRITATED AREAS. THE SCRATCHING HAS STOPPED, BUT I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT MY LITTLE BOO BOO. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SEBORRHEA AND I WAS WONDERING IF THIS COULD BE WHAT HE HAS. HE HAS ALSO HAD HIS DIET CHANGED RECENTLY. PLEASE IF ANYONE COULD GIVE ME AN IDEA OF WHAT I SHOULD DO AND IF I SHOULD CHANGE HIS DIET. HE STAYED WITH AN ELDERLY LADY FOR A WHILE AND I JUST GOT HIM BACK BECAUSE THE LADY PASSED AWAY AND IT WAS AGREED THAT I GET HIM BACK IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO HER. I DIDN'T SELL HIM TO HER AND I WOULD GO AND VISIT HIM OFTEN WHEN SHE HAD HIM.
HE SEEMS TO BE HAPPY TO BE HOME AND SLEEPS IN MY ARMS AT NIGHT. I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE HIM HOME AND I CAN'T STAND FOR HIM TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE OR IN PAIN. I APPRECIATE ANY INFO SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME TO HELP MY BABY!!!
