OK, I've experienced this and have now finally managed to get it under control! I have a tea cup, 3yrs. but it started last year. First of all, it's allergies(see my other post) My vet tested Cocoa by sampling the puss. She actually scraped the scabs! At that time she had a staff infection and was treated with antibiotics.She was also given Tavist, 1/2 pill two times a day. The sores dried up but never fully went away. She was uncomfortable with them. They usually were on her belly and she would know when I would want to look at them. I didn't use cream. This past week, thanks to all of you, I changed her food. I took her off of chicken and beef. I put a little fresh roast turkey from the deli in her dry food ( Science diet and Nutro). I also got Vet's Choice skin and coat conditioner for her food. It's like an oil you put in the food once a day. The pet stroe guy has a yorkie and experienced this problem too. it's magical stuff!She was also licking her paws like mad and now with the changes I've made, she has stopped the licking, the sores dried up and she's so content! I'm still scheduled to have her tested for allergies on Tueday but I may have worked it out! What are you feeding yours? Corn also causes them allergies. I hope this helps your baby. Don't worry, it is treatable, go to another vet! |
