If it was caught earlier, then my baby's immune system would have killed it, but now his immune system is so comprised that it's gonna be hard to do. Apparently, this is a mite that is passed from the dam to her puppies. Diagnosis is confirmed by skin scraping. If I were you and were thinking it is allergies, first ask for a skin scraping. No one told us about that before or even suggested it except this vet that I took him to today. So now, I am working at getting it under control. If anyone has a yorkie with demodectic mange, I would love to hear what you have to say.

what were the symptoms that she exhibited did she itch her skin and loose her har? what is the treatment for this?
