My Yorkie has oily, smelly skin. What food can help seborrhea?

Question

I have a 7 yr old Yorkie that I adopted in February this year. She has seborrhea. About 5 days after bathing, she gets oily and smelly. Is there anything that you would recommend to be given with her food to help this? At present I shampoo her weekly with shampoo recommended by my vet.

A combination of Malaseb shampoo and Coatex supplement usually helps. Malaseb can be used twice weekly for the first two weeks to then decrease the frequency to once every week for 3 weeks to then once every other week. If infections are present antibiotics will be needed (your vet can easily determine that). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
