I have recently, three months, ago adopted a Yorkie Cross, she is very healthy, has a flea collar on also had spot protection against fleas, however she is continually scratching, sometimes it wakes me at night. I have put sulphur blocks in her drinking water as suggested, I have bathed her in anti allergy shampoo, I am giving her cod liver oil tablets thinking it might be dry skin. She has just been to vet for Rabies injections so I don't really want her to have more injections for antihistamine treatment just yet. She has had several different foods, sachets, dry food, soft roll like Webbox, currently on cooked chicken. but still she scratches.

If you had read my post properly you would see that I am not completely stupid, I have been to the vet who wants to give her injections which I am trying to avoid since one of my previous dogs died following injections giving him an adverse effect. But thank you for your advice.

Our Yorkie has the same problem, the advice from our vet was not to keep changing her food and not under any circumstances was she to have any of our food.
Fortunately we have finally found a brand of food Lucy actually likes, that was part of the problem she is a very picky eater, so we were constantly trying different brands of food.

Apart from the above normal permitted responses, try NOT ,Shampoo.
Use oil ( linseed) or if not olive oil. Do not use detergent base ever. Shampoo etc. The sebum will flow with a wire type brush. Hope helps before I am deleted.

Thank you so much maybe this is the case as I said only just adopted her so I don’t know what she has been given. I will look at changing her current tablets, thank you
