It may be seborrhea. Champ had something similar to that. Doc gave
me a shampoo called Sulf OxyDex, a shampoo with Benzoyl Peroxide and
Sulfur. It helped a lot. I believe he told me to bathe him once a
week and let the shampoo sit on him for 5-10 minutes before
rinsing. At that time, Champ felt so puny, he just laid across my
arm.
