Thinking about bringing a yorkie puppy under your wing? If so, please pay attention to this important information about possible skin diseases your new puppy may incur.
External parasites are fleas, ticks, ice, and harvest mites. These little visitors are a major cause of skin trouble and eczemas. They are easily picked up from wild vermin (e.g. hedgehogs) and other infected dogs or cats.
Parasite bites are a site for sore eyes and lead to intense irritation, licking and biting with sores and scabs breaking out. Effective bathing or spraying of the affected yorkie puppy and all in-contact animals, as well as the room where the yorkie puppy lives, is essential.
Apply treatment found at the drug store to your poor yorkie puppy's wounds. Salves and ointments are better applied when the pup is comfortable and in the most warm, loving environment.
Worms must be eradicated at all costs. No human being would want to be infested with worms and neither does any yorkie puppy.
Yorkie puppies may also suffer from one of the unfortunately common general skin conditions that so often can be inflicted. Some common skin conditions that yorkies may be infected with are allergies, dermatitis, or eczema.
Tapeworm may be noticed as "little rice grains" stuck to the hair close to the anus. The tapeworm passes through the "intermediate host" during its development, usually a flea, so it is important to de-flea as well as to give the yorkie puppy a worm dose.
In the case of a surefire allergic reaction, treat the yorkie puppy's skin with a soothing ointment or cream prescribed by the veterinarian. Then do not forget to remove all sources of the allergy from the yorkie's environment to prevent future reactions. - 31845
