Well Gemini is a whopping 20lbs now. She's been in some deep crap lately. My mom let her out while I was at work and she picked my moms yorkie up by the head My mom thought she killed Jazzy. So between that and a couple different rashes, hair loss, puking and expensive medications with no improvement...I'm about done. On the plus side she is almost 100% potty trained.

Sounds like she is being a bratty puppy. That's what they do. What kind of hair loss?

Our normal vet was out of the office that day. The other said demodex BUT he didn't do a skin scrape to diagnose and we've had problems with him mixing things up. She has a small patch of missing hair by her mouth from scratching and a spot on her leg from chewing the size of a dime. She did in fact have fleas at the time because I asked for flea meds when I got there.
The bill was $100.00 and $30 of it was vaccines, the rest was heartworm meds and stuff to treat the demodex. Which things have got worse not better. Her poor stomach is a mess of bumps, from her navel down her back legs. I gave her a antibacterial/antifungal bath today and it did help some. Idk what it is but its nasty.

The bumps on her belly may be an allergic reaction to something in her environment. @B&B Happy goats has a dog with allergies, maybe she has some suggestions.

Your fortunately living in a cooler climate than we are so that's a plus ! MISSY gets the hair loss, rashs and welts when she goes outside...I have tried raw diet, and different feeds for her,
right now she is now on a normal dog food and is doing ok...only advice I can give you is try different foods , our dog is even allergic to grass
Sure hope you can find a solution that works for you.

Thanks, my oldest has food allergies. She gets really skinny and chews her feet if she has beef. So its always been chicken or lamb for her, my other has a sensitive stomach.

Your missy is just like my Kat! She's a 5lb yorkie that loves going outside but as soon as she hits grass she cant breath and gets hives really bad. They were even in her mouth! My vet told me to use benadryl but it never helped.

Yep, got four bottles of benadryl on hand, if Missy is really bad I give her a good dose of them so she can at least rest comfortably for a while...hives, she gets them the worst in the summer here, constantly a rash on her stomach, foot licking etc. But I have found that the less chemicals she gets (from vet) the better she does.....lord only knows what is in dog food....I have been putting a tsp of ACV in the dog watering container and she has been licking a little less...

I know you know to get the one with MOTHER in it, I use it with the chickens water, dogs, rabbits and goats...mostly in the summer ....which is March to November here , lol
Sure hope it works for you !
Forgot to mention, I have also used womans vaginal cream , like the store brand of monistat, for yeast in the ear, and any place they can't lick, and the YUCK spray to stop the licking.....
I am about ready to try some hot sauce on her paws lol.....wonder how she would like that taste ...
