Small dog with rash for over 2 years

Posted By Tinker (Surrey, Bc Canada) on 04/12/2013

I have a7lb. Yorkershire terrier, silky purebred. We've been dealing with an itchy rash for over 2 years. Have exhausted all the vet Rx including allergy and steroid injections. Now he's getting vanectyl P 1/2 twice daily. He is gaining weight and needs to pee very frequently, often can't control and leaks.

I have tried many different foods and now is on Royal Canin Anallergenic food. But the rash is still there. On his back he has scabs but his front has red and puss like rash.

Frustrated, please help.

Really sounds like a food allergy. I would get off that royal canine or the vet food and consider Raw feeding, you can buy pre made raw! My pugs used to suffer with skin yeast and ear conditions and since switching to raw they both are very healthy!
