| Does anyone use holistic medications? My 3 1/2 y/o male yorkie has issues with itching all the time. He eats 3 meals/day and still whines at the dog dish all the time for more food. He is gaining weight because I feel sorry for him and end up giving in to his hunger. I have heard from others that they use hemp oil and it is calming with a lot less anxiety. Has anyone tried this? |

| If he is itching all the time he needs to go on an allergy medication because he is probably miserable. Although he seems awful young itching and being hungry could be signs of Cushings. He really needs to go to the vet.

| Baxter Is it too young for him to have Cushings? I have an apt. with the vet next week. But I really don't expect too much because I have brought this up before and nothing was found. |

| There is obviously something going on so if the vet finds nothing it might be time to get a second opinion. I would have the vet do cytopoint for the itching it works massively well. What is he eating?

| Baxter itching, hungry all the time He eats Royal Canin Gastroentric low fat, 3 times/day, with some boiled chicken or boiled hamburger sprinkled on the top. I did have him on the Royal Canin small bites for Yorkies. That did the same thing |
