Bless you for rescuing your Yorkie. I have a 3&1/2 lb. female, 11 yrs. old. She has had skin issues periodically thru out her life. Have resolved most of them with hypoallergenic food, Hexadene shampoo, OTC itch remedies. She is pretty comfortable now and keeping her little t-shirt on seems to help stop her from scratching. She now has a pimple like sore on her back which the vet said not to "worry about." It is getting larger. Has anyone had experience with this? She has also developed a round patch of skin alittle smaller than a dime that has lost it's pigment and hair, also on her back. We will be back to the vet soon, but would appreciate any advice or experiences. After reading some of the posts, I will add fish oil to her diet, for this weight how much should I give her? Did I mention she is the light of my life?
