heat rast? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi guys! I have a 3 y/o male yorkie who has been coming down with a rash lately. His hair is not extremely long but he is not shaved either. We do live in TX and so I'm wondering if maybe this is due to the heat. He itches so bad and tries to relieve his pain by biting/chewing only causing more redness. For the itching I have several types of anti itching sprays, special shampoos and do this regularly. He is an indoor dog with regular trips outside to potty and we take a nightly walk around the neighborhood a couple of times a week. Does anyone else have the same kind of skin issues? I have not changed up his food, I've stopped giving him human food as treats. Would sometimes give a bite of my banana, a tiny taste of plain nonfat greek yogurt and a small bite of boiled chicken. Any feedback is appreciated.

Sounds like allergies I would take him to the vet. The vet can prescribe something that will help.
