Common Questions and Answers about Skin allergies in yorkies
allergies
We thought it was due to allergies - mainly grass - but the vet said that dogs did not have allergies and booked him in to have a camera up his nose - this was after he gave us tablets for everything going. The camera showed an infection and the nose was rinsed through, anti biotics given etc.
Cost the insurance company a lot but fair do's, the problem eased. He still had his sneezing fits but thankfully no bleeding nose.
Or someone clearing there throat. He is also very itchy.
I recently lost three yorkies in a house fire. Once we rebuilt the house, I purchased a 1 year old from a kennel. We have a dog door that she can go in and out but she comes inside to pee. She is really good about doing her pooh outside but she seriously has come in from outside to pee. What do I do? She was said to be trained to a piddle pad - but she isn't. I know the problem is that she has gone in her living space for a year but there has to be help.
Another thing is she might have two rows of teeth one in front of the other,
yes it would look like the teeth on a shark this is also a known problem with
a Yorkshire Terrier when the puppy teeth and adult teeth are both in the mouth together and you can see that no problem.
If they are not spayed do you notice that the aggression occurs as a result of any of them being in season (estrus), or in the hormonally elevated times before or after estrus? This would be sexual aggression. If this is the case spaying will probably help.
If they are already spayed than the problem is probably due to territorial aggression. It is important for you to monitor times when the problem occurs and try to anticipate when it will happen again.
I have 4 dogs, 3 Yorkies and a pitbull mix an the pit would always jump on me from excitement and since I first thought I was pregnant I noticed him stopped doing it and sometimes he gets super hyper and runs around the house an if he gets alil to close to me my 3 Yorkies will jump in from of him an bark at him to calm down lol it's so cute they've never done that before
First he may do a blood IgE levels to see if they are raised. Next, he will do skin testing. This test is painless, in which a very small amount of certain allergens are pricked into the surface of your skin. If you have allergies, just a little swelling will occur where the allergen was introduced. Reactions occur within about 15 minutes. If needed more sensitive intradermal tests will be used in which a small amount of allergen is injected within the skin.
Hi guys,
My yorkie is turning 4 tomorrow(yay!) but when I got home from school today I noticed that one of his eyes looked cloudy. At first I thought it was just the dim lighting, but upon close inspection I noticed that the pupil of one of his eyes was black (as always) while the other a cloudy white. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow, but I would like to know if anyone knows of any remedies or cures for cataracts asides from surgery. So that I am able to ask vet about them tomorrow.
m curious...What allergies are the shots for? Because of all the skin issues now, does it mean that the allergy injections are not working? Or, do they feel she has become allergic to new items? Has she always been like this or is it a seasonal thing? What do you feed as a primary food? Have you tried Benedryl to help her rest? Let me know.....
i have allergies to everything i put on my skin including my clothing. I have been patch tested with the chemicals that they have available. and i'm still allergic. more patch testing would be worthless because i have had 4 years to try to figure this out. It is everthing there is. I have also lost over 55 pounds. Is there a disease or disorder doing this to me?

In addition to ear problems, she now has skin problems. i would say the skin problems started in January. Let me back up; I moved into my apartment in mid-October & around January, she got a red bumpy rash on her stomach & chest area, in addition to a lot of itching & clumps of fur loss. That's when the vet diagnosed her w/bacterial dermatitis & put her on the abtibiotics, but it didn't seem to do anything.
I have skin allergies (hives) for four days now and they keep on coming back. I already had diphenhydramine injected to my system, which provided relief for at least 14 hours then my hives are back. They are worse than nights and I don't know what to do anymore. I avoided all foods that I can be allergic to, I barely eat anything tbh. Please help! Thank you.
Most dogs with food allergies also have environmental allergies. Environmental allergies don't have to occur only from things that are outside. Dust mites, storage mites and indoor molds are high allergens also. Since allergens penetrate dogs skin it is good to bathe your dog very frequently (once per week) with medicated, hypoallergenic shampoo. Environment allergies are impossible to control. A Hepa air filter will help for indoor and outdoor allergens.
My vet says my golden retriever has allergies - food and grass. Have tried various pet food for sensitive skin, some very expensive, and also using Malaseb shampoo weekly. Don't see fleas - ever. She's inside alot but takes lots of walk and plays in the back yard. She chews her paws, scratches everywhere. Have used Benadryl but I hate to think she will have to live on that. Nothing really seems to help. What to do? Have heard fish oil, Vit 3, Omega 3's, help.
I assume you mean 2lbs., correct? Yorkies only weigh 6-7 lbs to begin with...
Sudden intake of more water, excessive hunger, etc. are symptoms of various diseases such as Thyroid Disease, Kidney disease, Cushings, Diabetes, Liver disease, along w/others.....
All of these are treatable & easier to control if caught early......Please don't wait......Get your guy in to be checked ASAP. Good luck and let us know what you find out......
