Itchly, oily skin with terrible smell after going outside!!! I am new to Yorkie Talk and decided to seek out people who care. I need help and the vet just prescribes steroids and I know where that is going!!! Zoe is about 9 years old and has always had itchy skin. I have tried everything I have read on the internet, Dinovite, green bean diet, shampooing with Selsum Blue Shampoo, feeding her yogurt and probiotics. She is the worst this summer I have seen. Her hair is rubbed off her back from scrating, her skin is rough and oily and she smells terrible after being outdoors for a second. Has anyone has this problem and solved it? She is miserable and it makes me so sad. Thanks, Zoe in Texas (she is Zoe) |
Hello! I have been having hair issues with Molly and have been given wonderful advise from the YT family:) I have within the last week changed Molly's diet to Natural Balance Venison & Sweet potato and also changed her shampoo to Tropiclean hypoallergenic. My problem with Molly is that she has shorter hair(looks like it has been shaved) on her hind legs than the rest of her body & had some shedding. After researching many days & hours I found the best solution was to change the diet & shampoo and see how things go from there. My vet also gave me a Allerg-3 (omega 3) tab to put in her food daily. I poke a hole in the pill and squeeze the liquid onto her food in the morning. I hope that some of this helps b/c I have been so frustrated these last few weeks trying to find a solution to our problem.:animal36 |

I have same problem with my cat. She licks her belly almost raw, so she is on prednisone. Tough decision because of side effects, but I can't let her self mutilate. Sometimes it's very hard to narrow down what is causing the problem. |
So she has seasonal allergies, I'm kinda assuming? Have you tried Atopica yet? It can be just great for many dogs w/ allergies. :) |
