Re: [PyrNet-L] Skin Problem?

["Daniel L. Rice" <cody@ncweb.com>]

It sound like a case of seborrhea, it is a disease that the skin reproduces
to rapidly and there is no cure. Some feel that a bath given with benzoyl
peroxide
helps. As stated in Foster & Smith catalog. If this is whait is. A good
brushing every day well help to rmove some of the dead skin. Some feel that
adding Missing Link or Lipiderm to the food helps. I hope your guy out grows
it but a mix down the street from me is now 3 years old and still has the
problem if not given a bath and brushed.  Is there a oily, smelly coat ?
This is one of the signs but not all ways does this happen. Just a thought
and some reading
