When we first got Riley he would scratch all the time and he felt different than Jo. I really couldn't explain it but his skin felt tight, he didn't have a shine to his coat and he would just sit and scratch. My vet said it was simple...he had dry skin and he gave me a bottle of Derm Caps for him. I'm supposed to give him 1 cap a day but it makes his stool too soft so I give him 1/2 and Jo the other 1/2 with their soft food for breakfast. Within a few days he had stopped scratching, he feels softer and he has just as much shine to his coat as Jo does. We went through the mange testing and treatments with our first Yorkie and I can tell you this...if they have mange you know it, you don't have to treat them 'just in case'. Good luck with your babies...I hope you find relief for them soon. |
