This has worked for me One of my Yorkies has dry skin, and the Vet recommended an oatmeal base shampoo. And then use a cap of Keri Oil, which can be purchased in the people section of any drug store, and then after rinsing the dog use the Keri Oil. (This is the same oil I use for myself) I put a capful into about 4 cups of warm water and rinse my dog and towel dry. This works for me but maybe for not all doggies. Also, frequent brushing helps stimulate the oil in their skin. And Don't bathe too frequently.
Also, your Yorkie could be allergic to corn or any ground corn in their dog food. My previous Yorkie had this allergy and after taking her off of any dog food that had corn in the ingredients she became much better. Again, you would need to ask the Vet if this is a possibility. Also, I heard, but have not tried this, that a little bit of canned dog food helps in this matter. I don't like the canned dog food, but if the vet said my dog needed it I would give it a try. |
