Hi, I found your post after I welcomed you on another thread.

Regarding the hot spot, it sounds like food allergies but a Vet would be better to advise as it could be a lot things (this is my experience from having a cat with hot spots).

My Yorkie has a minor collapsed trachea, hers is all managed through me- meaning she NEVER is walked with her collar, she gets exercise and I keep her weight down. My Vet checks her everytime I go in and she said what I am doing is working so far.

I am sure so of the more experienced members will have information for you also.

As far as the thin coat, I am not familiar with Silky's but with Yorkies you see all different types of coats. My Yorkie has a very silky coat but it is very thick.

Good luck, she is very cute and sounds like you really like her.
