My mom adopted a friend's suposed "Yorkie" several months ago. The lady was sort of weird in a holistic way (TO ME anyways). Let's just say the dog had black sink on his nose and ears, neither of which had anyfur... the previous owner was putting somekind of tree oil on him via a mister bottle? I looked up the condition, found out it was 'leather ear' and my mom treated him with cortaid once per day, after several weeks the hair is growing back! Yeah. He was previously on a junky dogfood. I guided her to the 'Nutro' dog food and his flakey skin has gone away. yes again! Now the next problem we are working on is the EXTREME shedding. For one thing, his hair is REALLY wirey and he is constantly shedding. The previous owner stated he was a paper full blood yorkie. I thought that yorkies really dont shed like that though. And he has a rather long muzzle, and his hair is nothing like any yorkie i've seen before. Any advise or thoughts? Thanks
