My 3 year old yorkie poo is always biting herself to the point where she has literally made an open wound. I try to keep clothes on her as much as possible, but when it gets hot I have to let her go "naked" :). Her diet is pretty good, she eats wet and dry food, rice and sometimes chicken. My vet has given us medication, but I only use it sporadically b/c it isn't meant to be a long term solution. I can't afford to get her allergy testing right now but I also can't let her keep biting herself. Any suggestions? Should I change her diet, is there a cream or spray to help with the itchiness? She is kind of a nervous dog, so I am even wondering if it could be a nervous habit? Any advice would be GREAT!!
