These pills were quartered very small, 2 pills a day for a week, then 1 pill a day for a week and now he is being weaned off the pills by having one every other day till gone which looks like about 2 wks. worth. I did not want to put him on this steroid as I know it can affect the liver, however the vet said short term he would be fine, well it did help until yesterday, now itching again and nose red. I put "hot spot itch relief spray" by veterinarians best on him tonite, it contains tea tree oil and aloe and it seems to have helped atleast temporarily.
This is a frustrating problem and I can't help but notice that it seems to be quite common in the yorkies.
I hope you can find relief for your little one and you cuz its hard on both of you I know.
If you find a solution please post it as I would be very interested.

That is exactly what Sophie was doing but the Benadryl helped her. She hasn't had to have an allergy shot this year. Her's is seasonal mostly in the spring.
