| I remember... Has she gotten any better ...so what are you asking? Is she on any antibiotics? If so, she probably has an overload of bad bacteria as well, she may also be dealing with a yeast infection too, which causes skin issues Can you give some more info??? |

| She is having skin infections all the time? From mites ? What type of mites did she have? I can't answer your questions, but i'd like more information about what is happening with your Yorkie.

If so, they you need to get to the root of her itching and stop the scratching. Her food may be the issue. Can you either home cook for her, or put her on a brand of food made for allergies? Can you put a cotton shirt or cotton baby onesies on her to stop her from make her skin raw from scratching? Did the Vet suggest give her some type of antihistamine to help control her urge to scratch? | |

| I have found Burns holistic food is good. I've tried Max on various foods, but he has a sensitive stomach and I've found Burns to be very good for him. Burns does not have additives and is only made with fresh ingredients. They advise not to add anything to it, since it has everything your needs. Burns also have an advisor who is very helpful, with regards to feeding, and the advisor I received e-mails from was very quick to answer my problems. If you go to the Burns site, where you'll get the contact e-mail address, you can request samples of their food. Max received three. |
