Hi folks, my name is sunshine1234 i have a yorkie i adopted four months ago, the orginal owner was 95 yrs old. he died and left Tyler and i kept the name since he answers to that. He is four years old and so sweet. He had some training is of course; is quite layed back from the senior that owned him. I am already attached to him like i adopted him as an baby. he is well behaved and cuddles with me. i had him checked out by the vet. all is okay. I noticed a small rash on both hind quarters like acne. the vet gave me a bottle of medicated shampoo. Does not help very much. He scratches alot. Can i used something else, does anyone know what it can be. I know much has to do with allergies. i also tried differenct kinds. Is there something i can add to the bath to heal the rash? thank you a newbie, sunshine1234

Welcome and congratulations on the new dog. What are you feeding him, a lot of yorkies have food allergies.

Hey there, Welcome to YT, Im so glad Tyler came into your life, you sound like a real good mom. Have you tried an Oatmeal based shampoo and Conditioner. I would also use a anti itch cream but be sure and put a teeshirt on him so that he wont lick. As far as food, I would give him fish oil caps every day, I also give mine sardines in oil once a week. Corn meal will give dogs an allergic reaction. So what kind of food are you feeding him. Let us know if we can help you with more...Lissette
