You can consider trying giving her a few licks of organic virgin coconut oil each day (I use Nutiva Extra Virgin Coconut Oil). Start out with very little to prevent loose stools and then they can gradually work up to getting a few more licks.
You can also consider adding a drop or two of apple cider vinegar to their water.
Are you using a gentle non-fragrance dog shampoo? How often do you shampoo? Are you feeding grain-free dog food? How old is Bella? |
I have used oatmeal shampoo, Saturday when I picked her up at the groomer, I bought a Tea Tree Shampoo that my groomer suggested. Bella is 3 yrs old and not the "typical" yorkie. I keep her clipped in a "puppy cut" with a teddy bear face...very short. I have used a Lavender "hot spot" spray. She is fed Blue (I don't think it is totally grain free though, but planned on switching her to that when she is out). My roommate has a long haired Chihuahua and she is not effected at all. Bella has bitten some spots on her front legs to the point where she has then all red and sores. She has a comprehensive check up and dental cleaning scheduled for this Saturday (thank goodness), maybe they can shed some light on it. I am making note of your suggestions to try and I thank you for your response. Will keep you posted.
