Hi guys,

We are getting desperate here. Our little boy, Ari, 7 months, has always been verrrrrry itchy. One day, we took him to play with another Yorkie and they played around a bit. Ari cut his paw a bit so we took him home and cleaned it out. Being outside was new for him because he's so little and it's so cold here so he is an inside baby. A few days later, I came home to found our apartment covered in his blood. He apparently licked and bit his feet so much that he cut himself and bled. He was fine and excited to see me so I cleaned out his paws again, cleaned up the apartment and left it at that. Now, it's becoming almost daily that this is happening. Not to mention he has severe separation anxiety and cannot be crated. His skin on his paws and nose is going from black to pink but those are the only abnormalities I have noticed on his skin. Oh, and he has scratched his ear so badly they are cut up and missing chunks, too! I don't know what to do and it does not sound like anything else I have seen on the internet. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm worried sick!

Thanks,
Ari's Mommy
