Just got my sweet Shorkie (Shih Tzu/Yorkie) puppy almost 1 1/2 weeks ago when he was 6 weeks old. He is only 1.5 lbs. Started him on Orijen dry mixed with a little Wellness canned. Within 2 days he was itching almost constantly. Poor thing broke my heart. Gave it a week trying the combo, just Orijen, then just Wellness, and could not take it anymore. I figured it might be the fish since they both have it in them. This week I switched him to canned Merrick Puppy Plate and he is itching much less but still a little bit. Soooo, my question is how long do allergy symptoms take to go away? Could this residual itching be from his exposure last week or might it be something in the new food also (i.e. chicken, which is in all 3). I hate to keep switching foods but thank goodness he has a strong tummy because he has not had any loose stools.
