A friend of mine had a Yorkie that always had the same thing, and couldn't get rid of it, but then she never went through the elimination process to see if it was an allergy from foods, shampoos, toys, chewie toys. The Vet did a scraping and couldn't figure it out either, except to suggest to put her on a strict diet of only her basic diet and the same type of treat for a month. If it started to clear up then you know that it isn't the kibble and the treat, then you introduce another different type of treat and wait two weeks and see if their is a reaction and on and on with different foods. She was also told to use the same shampoo and not add any sprays or people foods, or rawhides since they are all processed differently and she could be allergic to them as well. It's all a matter of doing the process of elimination to figure out the source and it can take months. -------Original Message------- From: ann banks Date: 2/28/2011 5:43:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Photos of Tilly and Benji Can anyone tell me what causes small crusts on upper tips of ear--no sores, just small crusts smaller than my little finger nail and his ears aren't standing up now--maybe I should go to vet. thanks Ann

She was fine one minute and limping the next. I'm watching her closely and if it continues we'll be off to the vet in the morning. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and lets me touch and maneuver it and press on the foot pad so I don't know what happened... we were all outside so I am wondering if it is a sting or something like that. Poor little gal....
