| Allergies Is it possible for a Yorkie to have allergies?? I"ve taken my Winston to the vet twice. The first time, they gave him a medicine for a cold. It did nothing (Granted, it also didn't get WORSE) He's been sniffling, sneezing, coughing.. sort of wheezing. Neither time we went to the vet did he have a temperature. He's eating. He's drinking. He's sleeping normally. He's running around 100 MPH chasing my kitties He's playing. He's acting completely normal. But here and there he'll start wheezing. or he sneezes. I live with three cats, and I'm wondering if he's just got allergies? They want to run all kinds of blood work on him and I just don't have the money to pay $200 right now to run tests on him Does anyone now if allergies are possible? When I asked the vet he kind of blew it off and didn't give me a yes or no answer... |

| YES... he has been itching a bit. Nothing major... but i thought perhaps he had fleas, but none of my cats have fleas so thats interesting that you pointed that out. |

| My Yorkie has been itching behind her ears. I asked the vet about it and he said that she had some kind of allergy. He didn't give me anything for her. He didn't act like it was a big deal. Do you guys know is there is anything out there that would help? |

| alot of other yt'rs have had allergy tests done on their pups. maybe you can find a vet in your area that would do it for you. and i'm finding thru reading other posts that dogs can be allergic to as many things as people! good luck! |
