WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A YORKIE PUPPY FROM WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A VERY REPUTABLE BREEDER AND NOW WE HAVE OUR HANDS FULL.
HE HAD EAR MITES AND AN EYE INFECTION WHEN WE GOT HIM BUT WE TOOK HIM ANYWAY. HE ALSO DID NOT HAVE ALL HIS TEETH SO WE FEED HIM ESBILAC AND BABY FOOD CHICKEN UNTIL HIS TEETH CAME IN ALONG WITH EUKANUBA SMALL BREED PUPPY FOOD SOAKED IN WARM WATER.
HE HAS ONLY HAD ONE LOW BLOOD SUGAR ATTACK WHICH WAS VERY SUDDEN AND EXTREAMLY SCARY. WE HAVE HAD HIM VET CHECKED FOUR TIMES AND PASSED ALL EXAMS WITH FLYING COLORS AND HAS NEVER HAD A REACTION TO ANY SHOTS. BASICALLY HE HAS BEEN GREAT. UNTILLLLLLLL NOW
HE IS GOING BALD..NOT JUST THINNING HAIR ..BALD. HE STARTED OUT SHEDDING HIS HAIR WHICH SEEMS VERY THIN IN DIAMITER NOT TO MENTION VERY EASY TO BREAK. WE USED MOISTURIZING PUPPY SHAMPOO AND IT SEEMS TO MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHAT WE DO.
APROX. 4 DAYS AFTER HIS LAST CHECK UP HE BEGAN THIS SHEDDING AND WITHIN 2 MORE DAYS HE HAD A BALK SPOT THAT WITHIN ONE DAY GOT MUCH WORSE....
THE BALDNESS IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PINKY FINGER UP EACH SIDE OF THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND THEN PROCEEDS DOWN HIS BACK LIKE A SADDLE DOWN EACH SIDE. IT IS A VERY DEFINATE LINE AROUND THE BALDING , VERY DISTINCT AND ABSOLUTLEY NO BROWN HAIR IS FALLING OUT ONLY THE BLACK. HE DOES NOT ACT SICK, HE HAS NO FLEAS,MITES, NO SORES NO SCALES , NO THICKENING OF THE SKIN, NO ODOR, DOES NOT SEEM TO BE IN ANY DISTRESS. ALL OF HIS BLOOD TESTS HAVE CAME BACK NORMAL,AND THERE IS NO INFECTION. HIS SKIN IN THE PAST THREE DAYS HAS GONE FROM APPEARING SOMEWHAT BLUEISH GREY TO ATTAINING A BLACK PIGMENT. WE CALLED THE BREEDER AND OF COURSE SHE SAYS ..OH WELL, HE IS YOUR DOG NOW.
WE HAVE TO KEEP LITTLE SHIRTS ON HIM AS HE CHILLS EASILY.
THE ONLY OTHER THING ANY VET CAN FIND IS THAT HE HAS NO TESTICLES YET. NOTHING.
WE NOR THE VETS HAVE NOT A CLUE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM.
WE ARE TAKING HIM THIS WEEK TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN VET. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO HAIR FOLICAL TESTS AND MORE BLOOD WORK
WE FEEL SO BAD . WHEN EVER WE EVEN SUGGEST HIM GOING IN THE CAR HE HAS A FIT I THINK HE IS AFRAID IT IS MORE VETS....AND IT USUALLY IS, SO WE HAVE BEEN TAKING HIM FOR TREATS TO TRY AND MAKE HIS LIFE SOMEWHAT BETTER, HE HAS HAD A LOT IN HIS SHORT 15 WEEKS,
IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ANY IDEAS WHAT MAY BE WRONG WITH HIM, WE WOULD TRUELY APPRECIATE ANY INFO AS WOULD OUR REGULAR VET. SHE IS WILLING TO APPROACH THIS ANYWAY SHE CAN TO HELP HIM AT THIS POINT.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INFO THAT WE MAY GET.
