dry and flaky my 6 month old yorkie and 3 pounds has been having dry and flaky [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]skin[/COLOR][/COLOR], and her fur has been dry. i heard if you use fish [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]oil[/COLOR][/COLOR] or salmon oil it will help.. is this true.?? and are their any suggestions that anyone can give.. Thank You. :) |
Yes, if the food isn't offering enough oil, sometimes a supplement can help. Fish oil is excellent, but first make sure you are using a shampoo made for dogs, and a conditioner. Also, make sure you rinse the skin thoroughly after shampooing, the number one cause of dry flakey skin is improper rinsing. There are many good shampoos out there, but since Yorkies are bathed much more often than other breeds a quality shampoo that helps to protect the skin is important. I like Biogroom products and if you email the company, they will send you some product samples.

A little Missing Link on their food does wonders to :). |
My Winnie has that issue when we got him. i changed his food from Royal Cannie to Natural balance sweet potatoes and fish, that helped. Also you can add very small amount of olive oil after shampooing to the conditioner water mix and let him sit in the mix for 5 min and rinse it out. this is my personal experience dont know if it will apply to your baby. |

a good moistuizer shampoo/cond...also you can get the vit.e gels caps open 1 rub a lil of it on your hands (not to much can get oily) & rub all over your yorkie. also wild salmn,hemp,coconut,olive oil according to many DVMs is also good. also stay away from to much bathing;use a waterless bath (you can get waterless shampoo @ your local pet store) in between the real full bath. to much bathing can also dry skin out...... also allergies can dry out skin. |
