YorkieRose is right on the mark (as always) with 'grass.' Pixie was having such itching issues. Her vet said that she was obsessive/compulsive. I changed vets and had her tested for allergies. She is allergic to grass, mites, mole, dust, pollen (environment) etc., and POTATOES. She was never fed table scraps but her dog food had potatoes as an ingredient. Pixie couldn't tolerate the allergy injections made for her, so we had to stop. She's an 'in house' Yorkie except for car rides and shopping trips in my bag. She really doesn't miss outside as long as she has some sun to nap. I have tried almost all pet shampoos and find 'Nioxin' (cleanser/normal) for humans the best so far and as a rinse use their 'scalp therapy (nornal).' I dilute both. I had bought it in a hair salon for myself, it's for color treated hair in humans but found it later for less on eBay. Pixie's hair grew back where it was falling out.
Hope Lexi feels better and you as well.

p.s. I would change vets, think yours is cruel. I have found that not all vets are animal lovers.
