Hi Lindsay
My Poppy was in kennels while we were on holiday a few months ago and when we got back she had loads of dandruff on her back and rump just like you described. The kennels suggested rubbing vegetable oil on her but I didn't really like the sound of that
and then Jane S suggested a bath with Tea-Tree Oil shampoo (from a healthfood shop) and giving her one capsule of Evening Primrose Oil a day would help dry skin. Within a few days her dandruff had disappeared (thankyou Jane
).
It has reurned once since then and out came the tea-tree oil shampoo again and it cleared up really quickly.
I bath her every 1 - 2 weeks and every 3rd or 4th bath use tea-tree oil shampoo to try to prevent it coming back. I am still giving her EPO every day to try to keep her coat in good condition.
HTH
