Thank you for your support, sorry your poor Daisy has had such issues (Alfie's Mom is called Daisy) maybe you could help me a little with bath time?
So One of Alfie's most irritated areas is his muzzle, should I try and apply there but if I do I don't think I could stop him licking? I think all Yorkies love to rub themselves all over when they are wet, how do you keep Daisy in one place for 10 minutes? I have wrapped Alfie in a towel but that I suppose defeats the purpose as this could be soaking all the goodness out. This is only day 2 of treatment (this time) tonight he was naked for a good 3 hours (apart from socks) which is the longest time in ages, although the steroids are probably blocking all his itch sensors.
