| Yorkie has brown scaly stuff on skin Hello can anyone help my Mom has two 5 lb male yorkies and both of them have brown scaly scabby looking stuff all over their skin. It is right againt the skin and comes off when rubbed or brushed. It makes them itchy but does not seem to cause pain. she has a vet appointment next month. They say it is not an emergency so they made the appointment later. She has started using a new very expensive conditioner on them but she said the problem started before that. Anyone know what this is? |

| She should bring them to the Vet ASAP - Why Wait???? Obviously they are in discomfort |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | the receptionists that made the appt have no idea if its an emergency or not. you cannot make a diagnosis by phone. your mom's pups can have an infectious rash like mange or ringworm. then again it could be dry or irritated skin which can be fixed with diet and shampoo. the vet needs to see the dogs himself.

| If your vet won't see them for a month I'd try a new vet.
