| do yorkies get cradle cap? My Riley has a rash on his back that looks like cradle cap. He has a thyroid problem but the vet does not feel it is related. He will scratch until he wears the hair off and it. flakes like dandruff. |

| Welcome to Yorkietalk. What kind of thyroid problem does your Riley have, hypo or hyper? Another possibility for the skin condition could be the hair products you use or inadequate rinsing of shampoo. What brand shampoo do you use? Be sure to rinse very, very thoroughly.

| Wanted to add, if hair products and rinsing aren't the solution, a visit to a canine dermatologist would be a good idea.
