ajs Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I have a little old recued shih tsu with a very greasy coat. It is amazing how quickly the grease comes through her coat after a bath. I don't bath her often - the groomer baths her every 6 weeks beofre trimming her coat. I brush her at least once daily and she also has scurf. Has anyone any advice on dietary needs or anything else that might help her coat? She only has 6 teeth and is a fussy eater preferring not to eat the same thing twice on the trot. She has a very varied diet. She seems in reasonable health except she has choking fits (which is when she has eaten some of my collies dry food I think) or maybe it is just apnea or a nervous thing. She has also started to suffer severe stiffness in her legs so I give her cod liver oil every other day and have just started to give her glucomax every other day to see if it helps. (this has not affected her greasy coat - it has always been greasy for as long as I recall - I have had her nearly 2 years now, somewhat against the odds given the state she was in when she arrived.) Any advice gratefully welcomed. Thanks, Alison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
