 Hair Loss in my baby Morkie
We just got the sweetest baby Morkie for Christmas and she is lossing her hair. The pictures we received from the breeder of Miley from 2 wks up showed alot of hair but when we picked her up on Xmas eve (Miley is 9 wks old) she has lost a significant amount of hair. I just thought she hadn't got all her hair (I was so excited to get her that it didn't dawn on me that she had hair in earlier pictures). The breeder casually mention her "sparse" hair when we were getting her..but I didn't ask any questions (now i realize that was stupid). I took Miley for her shots this week and still wasn't thinking anything about her lack of hair but my VET laughed and said it looked as though I would eventually have a hairless dog - he didn't see anything that indicated a skin problem and thought it was genetic. I called the breeder and of course she claims she hadn't noticed that Miley was lossing hair and had no idea why this would be happening. She later called back and suggested that I visit a Derma Vet. The Derma vet did skin scraps and found a dermivex mite and is now treating for that - but wouldn't say that that was our problem. Just looking to see if anyone has had a puppy that had this type of mites where their puppy was actually experiencing hair loss or any other suggestions. We love our Miley but we are really hoping she gets her hair back! |
