My fourteen yearold Yorkie has been having a terrible itch for almost 3 years.
I have tried to find the answer but can’t .
He has had a skin scrap and i was told it was under lying Bacterial infection.
He is on Betamox as he won’t take tablets, and I wash him every other day in Malaseb Shampoo
He has had steroid injections which really help but i know they aren’t good for his kidneys.
Should i let him have injections so he is comfortable.

I am in the UK and have ordered Be Soothed for him .

Would evening primrose oil help
