Im sad....

[Lexi's_Mommy]

Girl I feel your pain, my Lexi had a beautiful coat til she started getting the itchies. I have done blood test and 2 skin test. My poor girl is allergic to everything. I was useing the missing link and about a month later she was itching worse than ever. My vet read the ingredients and told me to stop giving it to her that she was allergic to the yeast in it. I felt like such a bad mommy. She is doing better but still itches all the time. I am considering a puppy cut for her too.


Good Luck

If your vet thought the yeast was a problem with Missing Link you should look into using Dermcaps because Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are good for skin allergies and itching. They also make a yeast free Missing Link so apparently it is a problem with others.

Ahhhh...every time I see a pic of Chloe, she looks absolutely adorable! I hope you get it figured out what to do for her!!! Please cheer up!!!

Hey girl - Chloe is cuter than a button. She looks cute in short hair

What I use on my girls is Sea Breeze - it's susposed to be anti-breakage and it's a very light water based oil - have you tried that ? Also - something I picked up in PetCo when Chanel was itchy is a spray on Skin Conditioner - it worked for Chanel in less than 24 hours - no more scratching

I think Chloe is gorgeous Shana! When I got my second furbaby, I wanted mine to look like yours! LOL! She is always sooo cute in her pictures!

[browniesmom622]

& try missing link we've been using it & WOW its made a huge difference !

[LaLoca1]

Shana.....Chloe is adorable. I always look forward to the pics you share of her. She is a beautiful yorkie....no matter how long/short her hair is! You are a very lucky mommy to have such a great little girl.

[Shanatink]

Well I trimmed her hair. I messed up and made it really short in the chest area And her face looks really choppy. I used to be good at this I dont knwo what happened or how to fix it.

do you feed her the Nutro Ultra or just Nutro? I wonder if the corn in the Nutro has something to do with her allergies?
But any pic I have ever seen of her, she is beautiful!

I dont know, we buy big bags and dump it in a huge container with a lid that snaps so it stays fresh, so I cant remeber which nutro I buy since I no longer have the bag. I kinda think its nutro ultra. I just went and looked at the nutro natural choice gourmet food that I give them and I looked at the ingrediants in that and I dont see an corn in it. Is nutro Ultra better than regular Nutro?

On the pic her coat looks nice.

[Josie's Mom]

Chloe is so pretty. Don't be sad. She's a really cute girl.

Shana, your Chloe is beautiful! Just georgeous and so well groomed. Unfortunately, all of our kids don't have those draggin' the ground show coats. I finally broke down and got Chizzie cut..... after struggling with her coat for two years, my Chizziewink is now sporting a Snork cut -- Schnauser/Yorkie combo.

As far as the allergies go, are you sure it is a food allergy and not an enviromental allergy?

I saw Chizzie's pic and I was amazed at how thick and healthy her coat looks all around the face. Your picture was one of them ones that made me envious yesterday, lol.
I always though it was an environmental allergy since it seems to come and go and my vet said that allergies can be seasonal and I am having super bad allergy problems the past month so I figure maybe somethign in the air is bothering Chloe also. BUt I have never considered her food so I am goign to do a little experimenting with that.
