You have a good soul Jeneen and I know your little one will give you years of love and affection back.

During the winter time many Yorkie's get dry skin because of heat in the home but a number of other things can also effect their skin. One of the main thing is what are you are feeding this little one? If corn is one of the main ingrediants then this might be one of the reasons Bailey is itching. Also Yorkie's do much better with amino-acids added to their food. I use Salmon oil and other members use Missing-link (Petsmart carries this). At the most you should only bath a Yorkie once a week and many of us go 2 weeks during the winter months so as not to dry out their skin.

If you hit the search button on YT and type in "itching" you will see a ton of threads on this topic and you might find it helpful.

Welcome to you and Bailey to YT
