I'm having the ITCHY'S too... okay it's not me, but my little Ms. Lola has the Itchy's. It's so bad it makes me want to cry. I've had her since May 25th and I knew she had some Allergies, but didn't know to what existent. She previously lived up in a very woodsy area and her allergies went away up there. But I live in Northern California in the middle of the Suburbs and she is just pulling all of her beautiful long hair out! "In Clumps" EEK!

I've tried, Pet Solutions - Shampoo & Conditioner which is a prescription from her Vet. It has Oatmeal & Aloe in it. I also have been using John Paul's Oatmeal Conditioner Spray and Natural Care's - Itch Relief Hot Spot Spray, and I have been adding Lipiderm to her food which has Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids and Vitamin A & E, and Zinc which I heard was good for itching. I feed her Chicken Breast with Natural Balance "Beef" Roll with a little bit (20 pieces) of Royal Canin Yorkie-28 which she licks all the chicken off of the Yorkie-28 and she saves them for lunch...umm! but she does eat them.

After all of that, my poor baby is still scratching like a Crazy Maniac!

I tend to say she has A.D.D. (Adult Devisat Disorder) or should I say Y.D.D. (Yorkie Devisat Disorder)

She only stops scratching if she is sleeping or If I'm playing with her feet. I have a call into her Vet right now for some advise to help her. Then right when I was about to start a new Thread, I saw this one.
Thank you to Cinnamonmon for starting this Thread!

~OKAY~ Funny thing just happened that I had to share. I'm sure this has happened to some of the long haired dog owners. My Lola was sleeping next to me on her back and I leaned over to part the hair and give her a little kiss. Once I moved all of her hair I found her little butt and not her face, which is what I was looking for. hehehehe

~OKAY, BACK ON TRACK~
Does anyone else, have this much of a problem? I seem to have tried a lot of stuff, with no success. Has Benadryl been successful to a pup that has such a bad itch problem? I will go to the store right now! What ever it takes, What do I get?

anymore! Can anyone give me any other advise on any other products? My baby needs help!
