One of my vets raised yorkies, and when I took Sabrina to him, he immediately said "chicken allergy". Her tummy was brown mottled and she itched and itched. He said his yorkie was so bad that he'd go into shock if he got ahold of chicken. I put her on dog food with no chicken, and her skin has been good since, and the itchies only come when she gets ahold of something with chicken in it. She loves it. She'll steal from the grandkids, and if it hits the floor by accident, there is a war to get it away, but then she's got bumps and brownish whelps on her tummy for days. The vet said it was pretty common in Yorkies and they don't know why. BUT - turkey is okay.
