The fur on his back is turning from black to silver, but it doesn't seem to get any longer. It is silky and shiny but thin and fragile like a spider's web. I was feeding him Royal Canin for yorkshire terriers, but I have started weening him off that and onto Solid Gold, on the advice of a friend, hoping that it may be his diet that is contributing to the lack of yorkie fur.
Anyone else having this problem? |
i have two yorkies one has a thick cottony coat but my other has a very thin silky coat but she has health issues - she is hypothyroid, mvd and allergies. Thin hair coat all over can be related to thyroid but due to age maybe he is just going through a coat change as mine are 6 and do not remember when they had their full change over with coat so maybe others can help. I would say on next blood draw that is done have them add the 6 panel thyroid to have a base line
