 Wee baldy Alfie
So, my wee Alfie is generally doing well, he is happy and healthy and loves us, a few weeks ago (at 15 weeks) almost overnight he got matts, he gets groomed every day, we clipped his matts round both hips. So now our baby is baldy, both back legs and top of his front legs not from the little line we clipped but from him scratching and biting his coat.
I have been surfing and surfing to find a solution. Alfie has been at the vet twice in the last two weeks, is on anti biotics and steroids, he seems to be scratching and biting his beautiful hair a little less, my question is, I through my surfing have seen a lot of yorkie talk posts about exactly this problem, but no posts at all about the outcome. Can any of you give me some info? He has a good mixed diet, ceasor soft puppy food and James Wellbeloved chicken and rice, having read everything here am sending off for a grain free dry food and will work through food types ( he also gets some home cooked pure meat, chicken and beef and lamb chops) btw I am in UK not US so please advise on ingredients for diet and not brands as they will not be available here. I have also got some specialist shampoos and would love to try the yorkie shine products but postage to here is double the price of the product and there doesn't seem to be oatmeal products here. Please help, wee Alfie is my world and I don't care if he is the prettiest dog I just want him to be healthy and happy. Sorry this is an essay and cos I use an iPad can't upload pics but have created an album for baldy Alfie so you can see a little of how he looks now. |
