| Very thin hair We have a 3 year old yorkie and she has very thin hair on her back. Her hair is thick around her face, legs and toward her back end. We give her vitamins and also halo dream coat in her food daily which may have helped a little. She does not have any skin problems and she does not scratch herself. We feed her high quality food. Any suggestions or comments on other things we can try. Thanks. confused: |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Do you physically see her losing hair? That type of hair loss is symptom of thyroid disease. The diagnosis is made with a blood test and she'd be put on daily medication.

| Her hair is not coming out, it's just thin. Our groomer says that she may just have very thin hair. I think that we will take her and have a test done. Thanks to all that replied. |
