Hi everyone! I have a 4 month old male yorkie. I have noticed that he has started to itch and sneeze more frequently. The last week has been pretty bad with most of the itching around his ears and legs. His skin isn't dry or flaky, and I have him on his monthly flea and tic medicine.

I am not bathing him very often (every other week) because I didn't want to dry his skin out. When I do bathe him I use an oatmeal dog shampoo.

Could this be food allergies? I'm using regular purina puppy chow.

I'm new to the forum, and any thoughts would be helpful!
