I'm going to give the Aveeno Baby Fragrance Free Lotion a try, since he seems really dry around his stomach area closest to his hind leg.

milu also has dry skin on her belly and hind leg area as well... one thing that can help improve the skin condition for some dogs is diet. another that REALLY helped milu's skin was simply for me to bath her LESS frequently... i try to wait as long as possible to bath her now. (which still isn't that long, i bath her about once every 9 days now

)

oh, and there IS another shampoo that the groomer recommended me, i think it's been helping. i dont remember what it is called right now, but i can certainly look for you if you are interested.

I've been feeding Ori, Wellness wet food mixed with a few different brand of dry kibble (natural balance small bites LID, canidae, and bil jac). I've been trying to bath him every ~9 days as well. I don't think I can last for a full 2 weeks, since he really begins to smell.

I saw in another thread that hylyt shampoo may work. I may give that a try. Yes, I would be interested to know what shampoo you're using. BTW, I just checked the shampoo I've been using and it's Tropiclean with oatmeal.

i was having this problem. I went online and found Dermagic I think its called! It has worked wonders on Rudy. His skin was dry and flakey looked like it was snowing in the house. Now i barely see any flakes. Its a little pricey but if you buy the complete system its a little cheaper.

Little punkin' Milu may need some fatty acid supplementation. I like (and give my guys) Ark Natural Royal Coat since it has fish oil (EPA/DHA) and then also the fatty acids GLA (esp. good for skin issues) and LA (which is the 'essential' fatty acid for dogs), plus vit a/d/e. You can get it at Whole Foods, and some other stores, and online.

yes, i looked at the shampoo, it is called hylyt. i use that on milu now, they also sell a conditioner as well but i didn't see it when i went to the store.

I've always had an issue with dry flakey skin with my boy I have yet to find a a good shampoo that works for him!

MadreDeYorkie79 · 03-02-2009, 03:20 PM

My furbaby had a dry patch that was all flaky and red. It looked like it bothered him alot so I took him to the vet and he gave me a bottle of PYOBEN...its a medicated shampoo for dogs

, cats

and horses by VIRBAC Animal Health, and a few baths later,

the mean bad patch was gone and hasn't come back

I think you should check her Diet Skin problem's alway's start on the inside.

Coconut oil...try it, it works.

kmastrorio · 03-18-2009, 01:02 PM

My baby has the same problem. My groomer said it's internal and to change his diet to Solid Gold or Nutromax. She also mentioned adding fish oil to his food.
