I would not put down such a young dog because of mites..:eek:don't give up! get 2nd 3rd or 4th opinions! did they give you a name for this allergy/mite?

I'm sorry - I don't completely understand here - the "tests keep coming back the same" - but saying *what*??? What exactly are the tests positive for? I don't think anyone can really help with advice unless we know exactly what the infection is - yeast? Mange? Something else?

What exactly has been tried in terms of meds?

Putting your baby down would be the last thing I would do. Please try another vet. I went everywhere and probably talked to every vet in Dallas before Tina got help. Someone mentioned a holistic vet. Try that. If I lived close to one, which we don't, there is where I would take mine. We thought Mandy might have had mites for awhile. She scratched until at times I felt like crying. We went through the shots, benedryl, everything. Finally after hitting on the right food, it was that simple of a problem. That poor baby had itched for along time. Just try everything you can and I know you are. Its just a matter of hitting on the right treatment.

Where are you located? This is insane - DO NOT PUT HER TO SLEEP - I can't understand how a Vet could tell you that...

You need to tell us some more info....What have the test said? What have you been using? What works for a little and what doesn't?

If this is just too much for you to handle that's ok, we understand, we can help you place her in a good Yorkie Rescue, but PLEASE DO NOT PUT HER TO SLEEP - That is NOT the answer

Ask them to refer you to the vet school in Glasgow. Are both the vets you have been to in the same practice or different?

Your dogs immune system is compromised and you really do need to change her diet right now. Give her ground lamb or beef and rice with some grated carrots and please add some really good vitamins.
Please don't have this baby put down simply because she has mites. That is totally insane and you should change Vets.
Chiggers, also called harvest mites or red bugs, live as adults in decaying vegetation. Only their larval forms are parasitic. Dogs acquire the infestation while prowling in forest grasslands and fields in late summer and fall, when chiggers are reproducing. The result is severe itching with the formation of sores and scabs. The diagnosis is made by identifying the mites by visual inspection or by microscopic examination of skin scrapings.
SCABIES (sarcoptic mange) is caused by tiny spiderlike mites. Scabies is highly contagious and is transmitted primarily by direct contact and through contaminated grooming equipment and kennels. Probably no other skin disease will cause your dog to scratch and bite at his skin with such intensity.

Ask the Vet. exactly what it is that your dog has. Take a pen and paper and write every detail down and let us know.

We have been to two different vet surgery.It was the mange that she had.But now its infection from the mange for example ear infections and infections and her legs and in between her back and front legs
Cindy as no hair what so ever on her tummy because of the mange the hair is also no l between her legs either.

You can find some suggestions for her here....

This is TREATABLE ! Please don't put down a dog over this !! She's just a baby and all she needs is the right vet and for her ear infections - baytril or otomax are what's normally prescribed - but it depends on what TYPE of infection she has and you need to get her to a vet that CARES ASAP

Bless her heart ....I really hope she gets treated by someone who knows what they're doing and gets better

Has your yorkie been healthy other than this or has there been other health problems. My girl has always been healthy and had skin problems that lasted about six months that almost drove she and I and the vet crazy. Crystals were not red but crusty and we changed so many things that I can't tell really what cleared it up. Have you changed your laundry detergent lately, used bounce papers in your dryer, used swifter liquid on your tile floors etc etc. If I were to guess I would say food is the problem in most cases and vets don't know a darn thing about diet in a dog (sorry vets but they are just like Dr's with people and yet they are getting better) Her immune system could not be doing it's job and like everyone said it is most likely is an allergy. Never once did my Vet mention putting my dog down but I have no way of knowing the level of pain and discomfort your little one is going through. I have a feeling you do not have alot of vet care near you and since you have been to two, I can see how upset you must be. Call the largest University in your area and see if they have a school of V. Medicine and they are usually wonderful and the cost will not be much. Prayers coming your way.

I didn't see until now she had mange and they didn't know what is was:confused:

I agree with this post. The school in your country may be able to help out or atleast offer an alternative to putting your pup to sleep. I'm sure it is frustrating to deal with a sick pup like this but she could return to normal after a clear diagnosis and treatment are identified. Good luck!

You were right on the money!!!! MANGE

Where are you located? Maybe someone who lives near you can help you or give you some other references. Please exhaust all possible options before putting your baby down...she's so young. I don't know much about what you're experiencing but it just doesn't sound life ending right now.
