|  Very oily skin I have been told by my vet that Yorkies can have really oily skin. I have a Yorkie that is oily the very next day after bathing him in a vet recommended shampoo for oily skin. I hate bathing him so frequently & wonder if there is anything else to try? Would a specific diet help? Supplements? Help!! |

| Welcome to YT!  How old is your Yorkie? Georgie had oily skin as a puppy and then had dry skin. His skin now is pretty normal. I use minksheen shampoo and that helps to condition his skin.

| He is only 5 & it seems like the oily skin has gotten really bad in the last 6 months. I don't use conditioner & the shampoo the vet gave me is for oily skin - its not working. I am starting to wonder if it could be thyroid related. |
