I am wondering if anyone can offer any advice. I have a one year old female yorkie. It appears around the back 1/4 of her body she is either losing her hair or pulling it out. We haven't noticed any hair anywhere but on her back about 3/4 back to her bottom she is missing hair. It isn't completly bald but looks as if someone took clippers and cut her hair about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. The rest of her hair is long. I honestly think as much hair as she is missing we should be able to notice it laying around or missing very easily but no just noticed she had a really odd feeling patch on her back and then noticed the hair the way it is. Any suggestions or ideas? It is winter time here and very cold right now, but don't know that it has anything to do with this. I appreciate any help you may be able to offer.
