| I wanted to update everyone, we went to the vet yesterday and he said it could be chigger bites or an allergy. He was not really sure what it is but he gave her a antihistamine shot and said if that does not work come back in 2 days. So, $50 later, still not sure what it is and she is still itchy, but not as bad, we will see ........ |

| Try a chamomile tea bath. Take a clean gallon milk jug, steep 3 or 4 tea bags in a coffee cup pour it in the jug and fill the rest of the way with water. Bath as usual and rinse well then pour the tea over the dog from head to toe. Don't worry about getting in eyes or mouth as it's totally non-toxic. Do not rinse the tea off just dry as usual. It works great for allergy skin and eyes. The Chamomile deactivates the allergens. |

| What food does she eat? Thanks in large part to input on this website I found out that Remy is most likely allergic to chicken. He started getting strange "pimple-like" bumps on his underside, and became very itchy. Since frequently "you are what you eat" I started with an elimination diet before heading off to the vet and getting drugs. His kibble was Before Grain, and it had both chicken and turkey meal in it. Plus, his homecooked option had chicken. I've eliminated all chicken and in less than a week have seen dramatic improvement. Oh, and I used aloe on the spots and they have dried up and gone away (I grow my on aloe plants). So while I'm not entirely positive he is allergic to chicken I am not going to argue with the results... |

| Aveeno baths help with the itching. I get the oatmeal packets of Aveeno and after Sadie has been outside playing in the grass I soak her in an Aveeno bath. It is a bit high maintenance but with a Yorkie that is allergic to grass, mold, trees, etc it is well worth the time it takes. |

| Actually the chamomile rinse is faster as you don't have to bath them to use it . It deactivates the allergens weather you bath or not, you can just pour it on and let them dry. That's the good thing about it , you can use it between baths as well. |

| Chipper had allergies and he would get small pimples that would blister. When the blister broke he would have small sores. It reminded me of Chicken Pox. When he had a real bad case of pimples he had to be treated with predisone and an antibiotic to heal all the sores.

| I've had Darwin (one of my yorkies) have a blister. Then another month I saw it on Lipstik (my other yorkie). I believe these were ant bites. Could that be your situation? Keep us posted. |

| The bumps are gone and she is not itchy anymore. She has scabs from all the places that were itchy but eveything is healing and looking good. Not sure exactly what they gave her but he said it was a very low dose of antihistamine. I will have to watch her close to see if she breaks out again and remember what she was around if it happens again. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will keep the tea thing in mind in case she gets itchy again, it could be a quick fix. |

| Chamomile Tea !!! Thanks for the heads up on the tea. Well She got her bath, she is still itchy but a lot less, this is her first bath with this tea, she smells good and the hair is very smooth and shiny, I'm going to give her a bath with tea every week for a month and see if help. I check the back yard and found 4 big hills of ants, so now I will work on that Lol ! maybe that's what she may b having trouble with. Bark@ulater!!!!! manina,miley,max |
