Moist/hot/oily/itching/allergic dogQ: I have tried all kinds of shampoos for my shih tzu. she has severe allergies to both food and the environment, and getting old. i just want to keep her comfortable in between her steroid treatments that we try to keep to a minimum. her skin is is moist, oily, hot, scaley, and she has a burnt corn chip type smell to her. i have tried your coal tar, and other brands with the same ingredients; it doesn't help much. chlorehexiderm seems to be the freshest smelling although it doesn't quite do the trick. tea tree products (melaleuca) have not worked, neither has oatmeal. is there another suggestion. i have searched your shampoos and see there are other possibilities. i just don't which one to choose. please help me. sincerely....heather A: I would try ketachlor shampoo used every few days; make sure let sit on skin for 10 minutes and lather up before rinsing off. sounds like your pet has overgrowth of yeast on skin. ask your vet about this as well as possiblity of oral med known as ketaconazole if yeast is diagnosed
