Question:

I use oatmeal shampoo on my pekeniese. She secretes this oil kinda stuff once a year and it really smells bad, even the day after I bath her she stinks. Could you tell me what causes that or if there is something I can do to help her. When that happens she chews herself and has bald spots and sores. my vet has no idea what causes it. Thank you

Answer:

It is possible that your pet has a condition know as seborrhea which can cause the skin to have a greasy feel and look to it. This is only a quess. You may want to ask your vet for a referral to a dematologist to help you find out exactly what is going on. vetcare
