Hi. Does your pup have any similar flakes on the edges of her ears, and is she licking her feet? ...any flaking around other parts of her feet? Is she itchy or scratching alot? Yorkies are susceptable to Sarcoptic mange and it can start out on their feet. The mites may not show up on a skin scraping done by your vet, but can easily be treated and/or ruled out by using Revolution Heatworm Preventative. We went through a lot of meds, tests, time and money before the final diagnosis was made. What did your vet find?
