Prevent skin disease in your yorkie puppies

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.

Fleas may be fought with products found at just about any hardware store or general store but early detection is a must, since fleas multiply quickly. The flea is particularly difficult to eradicate as it lives in the little nooks and crannies around the house and only jumps on the dog to feed; such areas are difficult to reach with flea fighting products so prevent your yorkie pup’s environment from ever getting to such a predicament.

Parasites are nasty infections that most often come in the form of worms. The best and most effective worm medication dosages are obtainable from your vet; he or she will be happy to help.

Worms must be eradicated at all costs. No human being would want to be infested with worms and neither does any yorkie puppy.

Skin conditions in yorkie puppies are often called eczema, mange, and allergical dermatitis. Do not let a yorkie puppy go on scratching an itch for so long, as many simple skin conditions are made worse by a secondary infection from self-inflicted wounds.

Because a common skin disease form is allergies, yorkie owners should pay special attention to household items that may cause an allergic reaction. Allergies due to foods, household textiles, especially the man-made fiber carpets, and inadequately cured skin rugs, disinfectants, and washing powders are quite common in yorkies.

It takes patience to work through general skin conditions for an owner, especially knowing your sweet yorkie puppy is in pain. Always remember your vet will prescribe suitable treatments.
