Re: dog has skin problem?

Try looking for a dog food that doesn't have any wheat or corn in it (those are the two most common dog allergens). Most commercial dog foods do have those two ingredients in them. I hope this helps.

Get a bottle of Tea Tree Oil in the Vitamin Section of the store. Take a cotton ball, saturate with the oil and dab on the areas that are problematic. Use daily until healed.

Re: dog has skin problem?

my dog had similar skin problems and we tried a few things, which eventually worked...we took her off her food and fed her chicken and brown rice cooked in chicken broth for a week...then we started adding in new food gradually until she only had doggie food...dogs can have severe allergies to wheat, corn, so we switched to Nutro Chicken %26amp; Oatmeal food which doesn't have any wheat, corn, etc...we also put 100% aloe vera w/o alcohol on her skin everyday to keep it safely moisturized...after a wile, it cleared up and she hasn't had any problems since...good luck!

Re: dog has skin problem?

I have 2 chihuahuas that used to have skin problems very similar to your yorkie.I started giving to them Multi-Oil from GNC Store ;1 softgel capsule a day ( I wraped them with peanut butter ) The problems are gone now and their coat is shiny and silky .This product is formulated for humans but to be taken in bigger amounts ; the softgel are small for little dogs .The product is similar to those oil formulated for dog but much cheaper .Good luck !!!

Re: dog has skin problem?

If you're in a colder climate, your dog could also be suffering from extreme dry skin. Get some aloe vera shampoo from your vet. It should help relieve the itching.I have a maltese who is like that. Also keep a very large kettle of water on the stove(on low) to help keep moisture in the air. If it is food allergy, talk to your vet about what kind of food would be best for her. Hope this helps.
