I was just wondering if that would help Alfie? So Alfie is a night owl Buster usually comes and get me at 11:30 to tell me it's our bed time and if I am watching TV he will get on the back of the couch and nag me until I go to bed. Yorkies gotta love them! |
We are on a tough love cycle right now, he gets nothing but bottled water and hypoallergenic dry food, his soft toys, bedding and pjs (along with mine and hubby's) are washed in hot water without detergent. He only gets his jamies off to get combed once a day and hasn't had a bath for 3 weeks. No lotions, potions or ointments.
The last few days we have been able to keep his cone off most of the time which is such an improvement. And yes we keep baby socks taped on so when he does scratch he can't draw blood.
Hopefully we are on the road to recovery but if not after the next 2 weeks we will look at some of the suggestions I have had here.
