 Deverstated
Hi. I'm so upset. Tilly is 10 months old. She has never had what I would call a true Yorkie coat. Its always been dry and brittle, apart from her head that is lovely and silky.
Over the last couple of months her back hair and down her back legs has been snapping off and now it is really short.
I took her to the vet and they tested her for mites and such forth. The results all came back negative.
Today they rang me and said they think she has Short Hair syndrome of silky breeds, I think in a America you call it redleg?
Im so upset. I know I should be happy she is well and not sick, but my dreams off a long flowing coat are over and I feel like im grieving. Does that sound selfish? I love Tilly and that will never change, but I still really feel bummed.
Does anyone know of any treatment I could try?
Could the vet be wrong Ive added some photos?
Is it genetic? Should I tell the breeder?
Sorry about all the questions.
