They have all popped and are drying up, but hairless on the spots where the sores where. I changed her food to a "made for sensitive skin & Stomaches" she is getting better very fast but I'm afraid once I stop treating her with antibotics , it will come back. Good Luck!

Question if your pup was scraped for mites? PS If your pup does test positive for demodex, never allow the vet to give her cortizone meds because it will cause the mites to reactivate. Good luck.

I have just had the same problem you are describing with my five year old male Yorkie. I took him to the vet and he said it was a bacterial infection and prescribed an antibotic (Cephalexin) and a shot. My Yorkie took the medication for two weeks and I still had basically the same problem. I started searching the Internet and looking through my own Yorkie books and came across a book entitled "Yorkies Head to Tail by Sandra Lemire. It turns out that this is the woman who started the Coat Handler Shampoo and Conditioner products. After reading on her website and in her book about how residue from shampoos and conditioners build up on the skin and eventually cause problems, I decide to try her products. I did exactly as her help line recommended: Bath once a week with Coat Handler Shampoo (15 to 1) and Conditioner (15 to1) and apply a product called Skin Works (its just a odorless, colorless cream) on the affected areas three times a day. I saw an immediate improvement and now in less than two weeks the problem is almost completely gone. I was told that I would probably have to bath him 6 times before I would completely remove all the residue buildup from his skin. I really hope you will try this product because you sound just as upset as I was.

That is very interesting about Coat Handler.

Visit Nzymes.com there's a questionaire that you can answer that'll help pinpoint the problem. Hope that helps!

It sounds like Ringworm to me. Abbie had scabs all over too, and they finally diagnosed her with ringworm. She is being treated for it now.
