my morkie's back is covered in bumps and black dust the vet calls an allergy. I use special shampoo but nothing rids her of this painful skin condition. She is very sensitive to the touch and keeps to herself for fear of being touched. We have taken her to more than one vet and the diagnosis is the same. Please help.

My morkie was also covered in bumps and I first realized this when he started to constantly lick his paws. It first appeared there, but then spread to the rest of his body. I changed his shampoo to tropiclean (soap free) oatmeal. I also changed his food to holistic fish, because I was told he might have been allergic to chicken and/or grains. He wasn't crazy about the flavor but ate it just fine. When the bag finished I changed it to lamb, and he loves that! The best part is, the allergies seems to have disappeared. I hope that helps you!!

The lady I bought my Morkie from said to use Fish Oil on the dog food and that Morkie's do better with chicken or lamb over other things in dog food, so I am using Diamond Brand small breed puppy Chicken and rice. My dog loves it and is doing great on it.

We don't have Morkie's but we do have two Schnauzers who are also terribly allergic and develope bumps and itching. Our Vet put them on a diet of duck and potato with no grains or corn and they are doing great. A lot of breeds are allergic to the grains in food.
