I should have said thanks in my post, cause I sent DH out this A.M.to the local store I found that's s'posed to carry CC. That's the first thing I'll try before asking the vet for meds.

R'sM...did R's spots ever get really dark? Chloe's were blackish and raised. When I'd rub her skin w/ a cream to help sooth her, they would soften and I could scratch some of them right off her skin. No odor or anything. Though those didn't seem to make her itch. Just another symptom of her unusual skin issues. Coco started getting them now too. tiny blackish spots.

Anywho. As I said...I've learned more in these few days than YEARS of experience and vet visits.YT parents rOCK!
Did you take your little one to the vet to have her skin checked out? I ask bc yeast is an allergy, sometimes requiring meds, treatment, etc. Like Ann mentioned, allergies caused from food is actually very low, only about 10%.
Little brown/black speckles on skin, itching, licking, digestive upset, uti are all signs of yeast, a simple skin cytology will tell what bacteria it is by looking under the microscope.
Since she's getting black spots on her skin, I think she needs to see a vet asap. Hope u'll find answers soon!
