I've had her groomed and they said she has no skin issues other than the hair loss. The vet ran tests. Everything normal. They said it is probably due to stress. She eats well, doesn't have any scratching issues or behavior issues. She is perfect! We have had her five months and we have fallen in love with her and she seems to be in love with us as well-almost like she has always been a part of our family. I'm wondering if her hair will grow back? She does get anxious when we leave her, even if it is for a short time. I'm assuming this is due to her being left alone for a few days when the previous owner passed (it breaks my heart when I think about it). If anyone has had a problem with their adult yorkie having hair loss or if you have any suggestions, please let me know. |
My yorkie is 8 and 1/2 yrs and he is also experiencing hair loss. It started with the underside of his legs, his tummy and now even his back and neck the hair is thinning. It grows, but it is thinning out. The vet cannot find any reason for it and I don't know how to help him.
