I'm sorry your baby is going thru this. I have an itchy yorkie, too, and have an appointment to see the derm.
I have been researching this this at length, and it seems like one of the things to do is have your dog tested for thyroid and yeast. I'm hoping the vet derm we are to see suggests this, or I WILL. Eliminations diets are the ONLY way to check if there is a food allergy.
Good luck!
