My four year old yorkie Hannah has had allergy problems her whole life. We tried different foods but it doesn't seem to be a food based allergy. Eventually the vet put her on temiril which made her stop scratching and biting at herself. She had done fairly well with the temiril which we gave to her as little as possible because of the concern for long term damage.

When I took her in for her checkup in January her hind legs were all red and she had an infection. I was given anti-biotics and it cleared up the infection, but her legs were still red. When I brought her back for her follow-up we saw a different vet and she took her off the temiril and put her on apoquel. She seems to be doing okay on apoquel but her legs are still red. The vet said that they were inflamed and hopefully it will go away. We don't see her going at her legs anymore but she is left alone for hours at a time and that might be when she is biting herself.

Sorry for the long intro - my question is if anybody has dealt with red and inflamed legs with their yorkies and if they have any possible solutions.

Thanks!
