They are VERY hard to treat and you have to treat your whole house - has this been ruled out ?
and Tricia - A Good friend of mine just had her yorkie tested for Allergies and is on steriods now - do you want to talk to her before you get the tests ? |
Thank you Villette, she was checked for Sarcoptic Mites and the test came back neg but they are treating her for this mite and several others.

Also....Chanel itched REALLY bad the first year she started playing in the hose - I used Vetrenarians Best Moisture Mist SKIN Conditioner (Petco) and it stopped her itching in less than 24 hours...she has never itched since that summer

I did buy the shampoo and spray it does help but not for long...
I want to thank everyone for all your help. I have a feeling WE are going to diagnose her long before any vet does.
