Hi everyone, Im new to the site and new to the Yorkie breed as well. I found a female Yorkie who had been up kept poorly, or got loose from her owner and somehow managed to survive on her own. Her nails were so long they curled under her paws, fur was very matted, and hair loss on the entire back/trunk and ears. Well I trimmed her nails, wormed her, and bathed her in plain warm water....due to the fact that Im afraid to wash her with any shampoos. Her hair loss really bothers me. I would like to know if you all think the dog is suffering from mange or some type of skin disorder/ allergy? Her skin has no sores or redness in the bald areas? Does this sound like mange? Has the breed been known to have skin disorders resulting in hair loss? Just want others opinion. I plan on taking her to the vet first thing in the morning, I will keep you all updated! Thanks
