I need help first yorkie!! Hello everyone I'm new to having a yorkie and need some help. My baby is 9 months old and I'm trying to get him back to good health. His previous owners kept a diaper on him and I've taken him off since he's house broke but he has rashes from the diaper and he keeps chewing and licking himself raw on his privates. It's obsessive and he doesn't sleep. I'm worked aborig him and the vet is no help. Can anyone help me? |
Maybe try another vet. Hopefully someone here will have better advice for you. Best of luck! |
You might be able to ask your vet for an Elizabethan collar while he sleeps until the rashes heal. It isn't the most comfortable for them but it will keep him from licking. Quote:

Hello and welcome to YT!! Bless his little heart! I don't really have any advice, but I know you will get some great advice from others on here. Good luck! |
I agree with the E-Collar idea... it may be a great start !!! Try it! You can get one at a pet store too. It is that "thing" that looks like a lampshade in their head... looks funny but it is very effective !!! Welcome... keep posting and you will keep getting great advise ! |

I agree with the others. A e-collar needs to help your little man from licking himself so he can heal . He must be in a lot of pain. Also, I would take him in to a different vet for a second opinion. Surely, their has to be some kinf medication or treatment that can be applied to the rash to treat him . Poor guy .He must be so uncomfortable. :( |
You have been given some good advice. Hope the little guy heals fast. Bless you for taking such good care of him. Welcome to YT! |
Poor little baby! I would def. get a second opinion! Keeping him in my prayers :) |
you can also try a little onsie like you would put on a baby. i have seen people use these to cover there babies when they have surgery done on their babies to cover them up and they don't have to have a that awful collar on thier necks. Just a suggestion hon. I sure hope that he heals up. But I would see if you could find a different vet also. Some one that cares about yoru baby like you do. |
Good advices... great idea on the onesie.. I hope we get some updates on how is he doing ... XOXO to all !!! |
