Anybody have babies with allergies? Just wondering if Yorkies are prone to allergies like "white dogs" seem to be? One of my Bichons suffers terribly with skin allergies! |

Riley occasionally has environmental allergies.... They first popped up last May right about the time he turned 1-year old... Here is a thread I put together: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...allergies.html Hope this helps!! :) |
I had never heard the "white dog" theory before- but I have a softcoated wheaten Terrier (she is almost white)with awful allergies. She is 12 now and a few years ago we started working on her immune system with probiotics and enzymes. What a big difference it has made! I homecooked for 6 months while we got her rebalanced and now she is on a grainfree, fish based food. Guess the yorkies have benefitted , they have never been itchy or sick! |
Yes Uni does as well. Flea allergy and environmental allergies that we can never get rid of. We just went for a 2nd trip to the vet this summer bc of a flea outbreak and got her on Comfortis, but now we have the pollen etc to deal with. Vet put her on a nild steroid to get her through the worst of the season then get her off them. She have really sensitive skin and thin hair too, so she scratches herself raw. :( She's doing much better on the meds now, thank goodness. She's also on grainfree fish based food. Changing her diet didn't do much to help the allergies. I am beginning to think she never had a food allergy to begin with. |
I do...and my baby just started taking allergy shots this week. |
One of mine has bad allergies that are kept under control with Atopica. She is the first of 7 yorkies I've had over the years that had allergies. |
