Okay...well, if you want to start conservative, you could check thyroid first and go from there. If it was that, it's so easy to treat - just a pill, 2x day and occ. re-check of blood to make sure dose is right.
A couple more thoughts - she isn't itching right? If she is itching, you'd want to rule out mites.
Also, ringworm (a fungus, not a worm) is more common in yorkies than other breeds. You won't always see "ring" in dogs (like in humans) - you may just see patchy hairloss in an area. Your pics don't really look like this to me, but it's something to keep in mind. The definitive test for this would be a skin scrape, then grow it in culture for 10-14 days; if positive, give Diflucan for 6-8 weeks and retest, and antifungal snampoo for 6 months.
