He has not been biting himself now for the 3 weeks, but his fur does not seem to be growing back! Will his puppy fur grow back? Will he be bald until his adult coat grows in? Or is he (heaven forbid) going to have a bald butt forever?
WOW - your vet did tell you you also have to treat your house also ? They can be really hard to get rid of - I feel bad for you - they're just awful I heard and can bite not only your poor yorkie but people too ! On his hair - I would think it will grow back - but it also takes a long time to get rid of those nasty creatures -
