Hi everyone! This is my first post on YT! I am so glad to have a forum to share in my love of yorkies. My yorkie, Mr. Nelson is about to turn 10 months old.

Lately Mr. Nelson has been itching quite a bit. We took him to the vet and they gave him a shot which helped for about 2 weeks, but I noticed over the last few days that he is itching again and his skin is flaking. We use an Oatmeal shampoo when we bathe him at home which is the same one the groomer uses.

I hate to think that we will need to keep him on shots or prednazone (sp?). Does anyone have any experience with this issue and/or suggestions?

Thanks everyone!
Judi
