The problem could of been brought on by a number of things or it cold be a inherited disorder. You might want to ask the vet for any suggestions. It is something you don't see often in yorkies but it can occur.

Here is another website that might be helpful too.

I hope you can get it figured out. I know it can be frustrating.

Our little Rin has Seborrhea and she also gets oily fur and a somewhat "doggy" smell. The vet prescribed Douxo Shampoo and this helps somewhat with the oiliness. But really, I still have to bathe her every week (whereas my other Yorkie can also go two weeks between baths).
