Yorkie puppies sometimes require special care. If you are thinking about adopting a yorkie, you may want to take into consideration important facts about common skin diseases among Yorkie puppies.

Yorkie puppies are susceptible to two types of skin diseases; parasitic and general skin conditions. Parasites are tiny little bugs or worms that may bite your poor pup and create nasty marks, rashes, and redness or swelling; some yorkies may even develop an allergic reaction.

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.

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.

It is particularly necessary to worm regularly where there are children in the household, and to burn the resulting excreta. The immature roundworm larva may rarely infect a child, and this larva migrates and could cause blindness.

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.

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.
