| Itchy Yorkie... My Mia was itching alot last week. So I got her groomed on Friday. She also had her vet apt. They gave me Something called Derm caps. I guess it is high in Omega 3 and Omega 6. Has anyone ever heard of this? I was reading a thread about coconut oil. Where do I find this. and did it really help with the itching?

| Not sure if it is normal or not. My vet says he may have seasonal allergies. |

| It depends on how much itching she's doing. If itching is so constant that skin becomes red, sore, or infected, or if hair falls out, it's too much. Just like people, they can have allergies to foods and the environment or other skin conditions. If she's not getting flea protection, it could be fleas. Grizzly salmon oil along with vitamin e has helped my guy somewhat but he's got so many allergies that he's getting allergy shots. I've read good things about Derm caps. You will find out a lot on this site by reading other posts.

| She doesn't have any skin problems and my dogs are on advantage so I know we do not have any fleas. I think her fur might be changing from the curly baby fur to the silky fine fur.

| I put mine on Call of the wild or something like that, and they love it. They stopped itching really quickly.
