Hi everyone this is my first post I have two yorkies buddy 5 and buster 2.
I am having problems with buddy as seems to have what looks like cradle cap I have read that cradle cap shampoo is good for this. Would appreciate any feedback on this.

Hello and welcome to YT

Not any help on your question. Perhaps, some of great people on here have had some experience with your problem

dottiesyrky · 12-28-2016, 02:26 PM

First of all welcome to YT. Sorry I don't even know what cradle cap is, so can't help. But I am sure someone here will and be able to assist.

Welcome to YorkieTalk.

I think a visit to the vet needs to be arranged. It maybe nothing or something that can be treated. Please let us know how he makes out.

Sounds like dry skin to me, I would def. have your vet check him out.

Chews has something just like this under her chin. It was pretty itchy. I thought it was bug bites, and vet thought it was acne.. but then closer look showed cradle cap type stuff, only raised.so vet just said moisturize it. It's still there slightly but it didn't take too long to get it better. Good luck, I hope it goes quickly and it's something simple like what she has.

And is it on the top of the head, then...?

If so, I'd actually have it swabbed and cultured asap, as this could very easily be ringworm (a fungus, not a worm); dogs will often get it on top of their head. It's quite contagious (to both humans and dogs) and they can lose hair.

Welcome to YT, I have used Frontline from the time it hit the shelves and has always worked for my gals. This past summer my vet suggested to use Simparica, it's a chewable tab. IDK why could be she is now carrying this. There are many choices on the market today.

BTW you really should start your own thread, I am sure you will get more suggestions and opinions, this thread is for "cradle cap".

It was either ladyjane or 107barney, that did a lot of research on natural approaches to flea control. Do a search on here and see what you come up with.

Never heard of cradle cap but welcome to the forum !

Mercgirl · 01-02-2017, 12:28 AM

Hi Jayne, from another UK member. You spell your name the same way as my cousin!

Did a bit of research and found this....seems relevant, as the initial poster had a Yorkie.

Hope it helps.
