If your really concerned it can't hurt to just have the vet look at her and see. I mean best be safe then sorry. Roxie's hair is thin but I can't see her skin through it. Without seeing in person it's pretty hard to tell.
Actually we are going to see the vet tomorrow morning

Her skin is not irritated nor is it red.... she does not scratch abnormally or chew and she is energetic and healthy!

As I mentioned in one of the earlier posts.... I was mainly concerned that she might not be getting all the nutrients she needs or enough of them. Most replies I've gotten mention that she just might be "a thin-coated yorkie" and being that she is my first and only yorkie I didnt even know there was such a thing, lol.... but I am beginning to see that it is pretty common, Im not as worried about it now.... I have changed her food so I am just going to wait and see if that might make the difference!
