Default First Days Home...Couple Questions

Hello everyone!

Well the day finally came and my Lola come home yesterday. Everything has been so great! She completely fits her name...so sassy and energetic! I can hardly believe all that energy is in her little body!

There are a couple things that are kind of concerning me however...she has been scratching her neck? She doesn't do it constantly but at least a few times in the last two days. I tried giving her a bath with dawn (for fleas...just in case) but she still did it afterward? Maybe I didn't leave it on long enough or maybe she is allergic to the food the breeder has been giving? I am planning on switching to either Canidae or Wellness.

My second question is about her hair. It seems that the hair on top of her head is a bit thin? She has pretty tan roots so it looks even more sparse since the ends are black. I don't mind it at all but just curious if this is normal? I tried doing a search and saw some threads about yorkies going through coat stages...she is only 9 weeks...is it too early for her hair to be thin? Regardless she is GOREGOUS and I am so happy she is finally home but just want to make sure it isn't anything I should be too concerned about?

I'm taking her to the Vet on Thursday so I will also make sure to ask BUT thought I would come to the pros here . Any insight would be great. This is my first pet so I could just be an overly anxious mom!
