| Have you noticed her pulling at it....Stella actually pulled some of the hair out of her front and back legs while we were dealing with allergy issues. |

| she bites her fron legs alot but i dont really think she cud reach behind the hind legs by the bend where that bone sticks out. also i took her to the doctor and said she might have allergies but he said she's too small to have allergies. shes on 3.5 months. also her nailssss r long. im waiting for my vet appt to see if he can cut then since i cant take her to get groomed yet cuz she doesn't have all her shots. cud the nails be making her itch??? |

| From all my reading on this site a lot of yorkies are allergic to chicken, I would cut out the gerber and check the ingridents in the wellness. I would forgo the science diet it just has way to many fillers. Corn is also a good one to stay away from. |

| It's either a food or grass allergy. She isn't too young for an allergy. Can't understand why the Dr. would say that. Anyway my only advice would be to start with the food and stop giving her whatever your giving now. Just mix up some ground beef and rice and give that for a couple of weeks to see if there is an improvement. |
