Orange Stripe
Orange stripe, Yes there has also been a few visitors who
reported that they're Westie's have developed an orange stripe down the full
length of they're Westie's back. Sometimes this is accompanied by "Black heads"
this condition could be Seborrhoeic dermatitis and is treated with a special
shampoo called "Malaseb?" an Antibacterial & Antifungal shampoo.
As before this shampoo should only be used if prescribed by a
vet, it costs around ?8.00 (UK 11/04/01) per 250 Ml and needs to be used regular
for 12 weeks. The treatment may also include antibiotics. If
your Westie has a small amount of orange on the top of his back, talk to
your vet before the condition gets worse. The use of "Evening primrose oil"
can help control this condition, but you need to be told by your vet if you
should use it and what quantity. Never use Human shampoos
like "Anti dandruff" or any other human products, you can do more damage
this way, Talk to your vet at all times. Tea Tree oil Shampoo (Asda) is also
a good product, and much cheaper in a supermarket than a pat shop  Next
