| My yorkie is now bleeding :( My yorkie keeps scratching by her mouth and now it's bleeding.. I've taken her to three different vets and they all tell me different things and don't really help. I don't know what else to do. Help please!! she's scratched her hair off, and is very sad. |

| Oh my gosh, poor baby. What have the vets told you? Maybe she is allergic to something she is around all the time. Maybe she could possibly have something in it like a splinter, or sticker from outside. How close have they checked it? Thats terrible. She is bound to be miserable and it would be hard to put just any kind of medicine on it with it being her mouth. Let us know when you find out. That is really strange. |

| They first said she was scratching bc she still had her baby tooth, but she doesn't any more. Then they said it was a flea bite. And gave me some medicine which didn't work at all. I dont know what else to do. Or what it might me. I get so sad and hate to see her like this. |

| They've said it might be an infections, they gave me treatment and it didn't work. Then they said it was because she had a baby tooth that was causing the pain.. Now the tooth is gone, and her problem hasn't . They just look at it and don't do any tests, I have asked for them to look at it closely but they dont. |

| I am so sorry you are going through this. That poor baby! There has to be a Vet that will listen to you and figure out why your little one is doing this. I assume it could be an allergy or possibly a skin irritation....maybe you could try to eliminate some things and see if it helps. Does she sleep on a blanket or have special toys that she holds in her mouth, do you wash them with a specific detergent or fabric softener? Is there anywhere else on her body that she scratches? I am sorry I really don't know what to do to help you but I am sure there will be others that could help you more just give it some time and they will respond when they are on possibly later today. I sure hope you figure out what is going on and I hope she gets some relief SOON!!

| Thank you for all the help, every little post helps. & she has her bed but likes to sleep every where and with everyone. I was her rubber toys with bleach and water, and the others with no specific detergent or softener |

| She may have a problem with the rubber toys....allergy perhaps? Do you feed her from a plastic bowl? They can also cause allergic reactions. I would not wash the toys with bleach. Bleach is irritating to skin. Just warm soap and water really should be enough. I hope you can get to the bottom of this soon. Poor baby. Are they giving her anything for the itching?

YT 1000 Club Member | You have probably already done this but is there a dermatologist who can examine and diagnose her? Try to keep her face clean and use cool compresses (in many instances heat will worsen an itch). As others have also recommended, try eliminating foods, toys, dishes, clothing she may be in regular contact with. I pray your baby is diagnosed soon and given the proper medication to make her comfortable/heal.

| Have they done a skin scrapping on her, to see if maybe she might have some mites? I would certainly get her to Vet Dermatologist.
