Oh, never thought of that! The groomer doesn't pluck his ear hairs but that would be something for me to check if I ever used another groomer - thanks!

Don't think I would be happy with a dog that is that intent on itching not having a specific diagnosis. If he is "sensitive" than what is he sensitive to? what kind of tests were done to arrive at this diagnosis? If they cannot give you a specific diagnosis other than "sensitive" I would check out another vet. There should be an itemized bill that tells you just what tests were done. If you do not see more than one microscopic exam that should give you a hint.
Your baby is beautiful, by the way. |
The vet is a Yorkshire terrier specialist so have no reason to doubt what he told me but thanks for the advice! Good to keep in mind for the future!
And yeah, he's cute - just annoying!
