I have 3 yorkies total. Along with having her, I also have her parents and they all eat the same food and her parents does not have any of her symptoms.
I went ahead and got benedryl creme and dabbed small amounts on her spots and will see if this will work out tomorrow.
Thanks for all your suggestions, they are wonderful advices! |
I'm so surprised they didn't do a skin scraping - it only takes a minute and can quickly confirm any bacterial overgrowth on the skin. If I were you, I'd def want one. They're cheap, easy, and quick.

My husband mentioned that it may be "sunburn". Squeekie (that's her name), loves to place her butt right next to the heater. These rashes never showed up in December or January when she started doing this, so I'm not really sure if its sunburn. So now I'm not turning on the heater in the mornings anymore, she's just wearing a very warm sweater. |
Hmmm....to me, this appears like it could easily be pyoderma aka a staph intermedius infection. S.Intermedius is naturally on a dog's skin, however, when overgrowth occurs, infection happens....and then you want to give Simplicef, usually for 3-4 weeks.
