| Schnauzer Comedo Syndrome Sylvia (14 pound Yorkiepoo) has developed this -- have any other Yorkies or Yorkiepoos developed this? It's not responding to any kind of treatment. The vet said to bathe her every 5 to 6 days, but I think that might be a little excessive. I'm pretty sure it is not food related. Thoughts? |

| Are you sure that’s what your vet said she has? My research shows that only Schnauzer’s can get it. Maybe you are dealing with environmental allergies and possible skin infection. Food allergies are rare so I too doubt it’s food related. When Callie as a brake out they have suggested I bathe her up to two times a week to once a week so that doesn’t sound off. I think maybe you might want to look at going to a dermatologist.

| I found this with google What is Schnauzer comedone syndrome? In Schnauzer comedone syndrome, dogs develop multiple comedones (blackheads) on the back and neck. These small skin bumps develop when a pore, the skin’s opening for each hair, becomes clogged with skin oils and debris. Despite the name, Schnauzer comedone syndrome can occur in non-Schnauzer breeds such as Carin terriers and other rough-coated terriers. It is also called Schnauzer comedo syndrome, Schnauzer back, and Schnauzer back bumps. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/de...899&Id=8814015

| I’m sorry I didn’t mean it sarcastic or nasty.

| I haven't heard about this before, but when Mike had different kind of skin issues a few months back, the vet suggested Virbac Sebolytic shampoo. Unfortunately we couldn't find it here, but I read many great reviews. It is supposed to remove excess oil off the skin and help exfoliate it. Maybe you can ask your vet. Hope that Sylvia will get better soon! |

| Thanks for all the responses. The vet "sold" me a shampoo called DermaBenSS. She (and her groomer) are pretty sure of the diagnosis, but I've been thinking about getting a second opinion, because after 2 rounds of antibiotics and weekly baths, there is zero improvement. Thank goodness it's not an itchy issue. Last edited by Sylvie; 04-11-2019 at 04:19 PM. |
