Exactly what I was going to ask. Yorkies (and other terriers) are more prone to ringworm. Is there patchy hairloss (not necess. a "ring" either)?

Can you describe it more - is it flaky or ? It could be a skin infection. The vet could do a smear and look under scope to see if there is excess bacteria, but also a fungal culture could be done (takes 10-14 days).
