I am sooo sorry to hear about your dog's problem. How painful and horrible for her. I am not very experienced with Yorkies, but I am VERY experienced with dogs and wildlife. If this is truly a mite issue, please start your dog on a Heartworm pill containing Ivomec. Heartgard Plus contains it, also Revolution and Interceptor. There may be other brands too. If it is truly mites causing her problem, the Ivomec (Ivermectin) will CURE her in one dose. I am shocked your vet did not recommend this from the start. So often vets will go the expensive route for a cure, rather than the simple EASY way (and inexpensive). The cure for mites is so easy. I have used Ivomec for over 20 years on animals as small as squirrels, and it is safe and effective. PLEASE give it a try. If the Ivomec doesn't cure your dog in one (oral) dose, then it isn't mites causing the problems. I would think it would more likely be caused from allergies.
Best of luck to you and please give the Ivomec a try. |
