I asked the vet about scraping, he told me there is no rash, and after treating her a bunch of times he said part of it could be mental. The first time we went he said it was an ear infection and the vibrations she creates from scratching was satisfying the itch. Then it progressed from that to that she scratches so much that she made her skin tough, still no rash, no flakes only hair breakage and tough skin from her scratching. I have changed to an array of food. I do know that akrylic blankets drive her bananas but she loves them. I took them away.
The supplement doesnt have the Omega 3 & 6 but the super omega, which is what I am also giving her, does.After 3 days I see a small difference already. Roscoe doesnt like it at all and decided to toss it back at me but Sparkle loves it and if it helps, I will continue. I am keeping a close eye on her and if she progressively gets less itchy daily than I will have my answer. If she stays the same or gets worse, then I wont continue.
I feed them both Royal Kanin Yorkie food. I have since I brought them both home. Roscoes hair it PERFECT and this food has been great for him. When Sparkles allergies started, I did the 90 day food change utilizing specific products for allergy sensitive dogs. I have tried 5 different foods to no avail.I even went to making food myself with vet guidance. It didnt make any difference.
