Hi everyone! I have a little female Yorkie named Lucy Lou. She is 14 weeks old. Since we got her from the breeder she has itched like crazy. no rash, no bites, no fleas. The vet said she didn't know, maybe change food. She is on Eukaneuba puppy food. I was thinking Blue Buffalo all natural maybe? I did order some Dinovite and fishoil supplement to add to the food to see if that helps too, dont have it yet though. My other yorkie is fine, no itching. My vet also said sometimes when puppies are growing their skin gets tight and itches. I dont think that is the case though. I switched my detergent from Tide to a natural detergentwashed everything. Still now she is chewing on her back legs so much sh is losing all her hair on them. She does sleep fine and can go without scratching for a little while, but then stops to scratch. I habe only given her one bath (and she was scratching well before then too) I used paul mitchell for dogs oatmeal shampoo. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
p.s. I just took her to the vet and she said maybe allergies? SHe even did a skin scrape to see if she had bugs of some kind, nothing.
