I just took Minnie to the vet because she's been itching and had what appeared to be dandruff. The vet took a slide and said it was actually a yeast infection on her skin - yuck! He said that there were 2 ways to treat it - oral antibiotic or topical shampoo. He said he thought the antibiotic would be better since she was so little - the shampoo has to stay on for 10minutes before being rinsed off and he thought she would get too cold.
So I'm going to have to go the chemical route, which I hate.

Does anyone have any natural remedies they can suggest? - She already eats a grain free diet so I know it's not something she's eating that's causing this.
