Hey I'm new to this site and hoping somebody can help me. I'm kinda new to owning a Yorkie also. A couple of months ago my oldest daughter got a female miniature yorkie from a yardsale site off facebook. The lady told her that Baby had just came up in their yard about a year before and they didn't have time for her anymore. She said when Baby came up her back end looked like it had been shaved. (I'm wondering now if she didn't already have this issue before) Her hair seemed fine when we got her except seemed kinda thin but I really wasn't sure how thick a yorkie's hair was supposed to be. Now she is constantly scratching and her hair is coming out on the back half of her. At first I thought it was fleas even though I hadn't seen any on her or no indications of fleas. I treated anyway. Then I thought well maybe it's mange I treated for that. Still no change I don't know what else to do. I'm on a fixed income and really don't have the money to take her to the vet. I can't stand seeing her go thru this. It's tearing my heart out but I really don't know what else to do if anybody has any ideas please let me know. I am trying my best to come up with money for the vet but it may take a while so if you know of anything that might help untill then it would be greatly appreciated. She also has a lot of discharge from her left eye that we noticed the day after we got her. She is so sweet and loving just wants to be held and petted. She is the definition of lap dog
