Hi Glynne

My maltese (female) is 11 years old and has never been sick. However, for the last 8 months or so she has been scratching all her hair off her body - she now only has hair on her little head. This vet says it’s an flea allergy - that one says it’s a food allergy, and so on. I try to keep her as flea free, as is possible - have tried a diet of just ostrich mince with bits of boiled potato - but NOTHING helps!!! PLEASE can you tell me what to do before she scratches her head clean of hair too. The sad part is that I don’t walk her anymore because people laugh at her or they want to know what type of infectious disease she has - I am sure she understands and feels very unhappy. PLEASE, PLEASE will you try to answer my question - I am desperate!!! Continue Reading

Obviously both dogs are a bit bent out of shape with the new addition to the family but the maltese at least lets my baby touch him. The yorkie however growls at her and I am afraid that she is going to bite my baby. What can I do to ease my yorkie and get her to accept my baby girl (or at least not snap at her) as they are all my children. Please help!
