My new puppy stinks! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I had a miniature poodle that had a terrible odor. We bathed her often, and she still stank. I sniffed at every orifice

and could not find the source. The vet diagnosed the problem as underactive thyroid, and the blood test confirmed his diagnosis. Within a few weeks on thryroid medication, she lost that nasty foul odor, and as a bonus, she began acting much livlier, and it was obvious she felt much better. Poor girl -- the vet said her thyroid was almost non-functioning. The thyroid medication was very inexpensive.

I use MinkSheen or Oatmeal and Tricksie is always scratching but no fleas, no signs of skin irration, wonder if Royal Treat Pet Spa products would help?

One of my yorkies was like that in the beginning. Her coat was horrible and stiff all the time. As she got older it got a little better. It could be the food your giving ur baby. Some food can make their coats dry. Use oatmeal shampoo and get a conditioner that says Creme rinse. there is a difference. avoid pretty smelling sprays. may make it worse
