Here's a picture. We think she'll be named Lexi.
Looks like maybe a nutritional problem? I'm not sure about that though. Maybe she was being fed adult food (I've seen a lot of breeders do that so that they don't have to buy 2 different kinds). I would get her on a good food and get some Missing Link for her too b/c that has done wonders for Sydney's coat. I also give a small snack each day of a healthy fruit or veggie and I think that has helped as well.

If it was a common dog skin condition the vet would have picked up on it whether he/she is familiar with yorkies or not....so I wouldn't worry too much.
