Hi,
Maddi, my 6 year old yorkie has a "rash" on her back. It looks like tiny back scabs or scales on her back, just above her tail. When I scratch her back I can feel them and I want to pick them of with my nails. They do not itch or hurt her. Has anyone seen or heard of this and is there a solution? Could it be dry skin? She gets a bath about every week or two. I have tried medicated shampoos for allergies and that did nothing.

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks
