I have a question, Matise has flaky skin but it is not itchy. As you know he is recovering from Liver Shunt surgery so I was wondering could this be a vitamin deficiency?
It is on his legs armpits and around the upper back leg area and around the base of the tail. Is this just a yorkie thing or could it be a Liver Shunt thing? What do you guys think?
I made a vet apointment for tomarrow morning because I am worried. It is like he got a sunburn and now his skin is peeling/flaking you know. I am going to talk to the vet but what do you guys think I should do to treat it? I don't want him to lose his hair or go bald in any areas because I keep him in full coat. Should I change the shampoo/conditioner? use some kind of spray or oil or something? You know I have to becareful of protein levels because of the liver shunt so if it is a non topical treatment I have to beware of the protein content and know what those % are. I am so worried about it getting worse or for it to start itching him or for his hair to fall out.
What do you guys think?
