Yorkie with skin problems. Could this be a food allergy?I am a groomer and have a client with a yorkie that even after I bathed him he smelled bad. After awhile he was diagnosed this yeast and was given Malaseb. Several weeks later he came in with a keratinized area on the back of his neck that was very red. The owners took him to the vet and they gave him another medicated shampoo, powder and a pill (don't know what exactly). I bathed him last week and his skin is just red as a beet. A groomer friend of mine says she think it's a food allergy. She recommended some kind of yorkie food,..." ? Gold" Any suggestions about this problem.

He may still have a fungal infection. Sounds like the owners need to have his skin cultured again for a followup to see if any yeast/bacteria are present in large numbers. He may have a secondary bacterial infection. If the yeast were not controlled with the shampoo, he could be given a systemic fungal control drug. Everyone always assumes it's food allergies, and it may be, but i would want to see the results of a culture....there are dog allergy specialists out there if an allergy is suspected. Their vet will probably have to refer them if he suspects it is an allergy.

yes most defintely could be a food allergy.we have been through many foods untill we found one now the dog is beautiful full coat and no smell,or reddness or itchyness.If the coat has a red tint to legs underbelly,that could be a yeast infection,but the change of food fixed the problem.

I have seen and heard about this. It could be a food allergy or an unknown skin condition. I read about it because my dog had pretty much the same thing and she is a Yorkie too.. Hers just slowly went away. I read about others and it was a skin condition that took them forever to figure out.
