When my pup was that age - I thought he was going bald on the top of his head also - and so did everyone else. But, upon closer examination, I discovered that the roots of his hair on the top of his head were coming in almost white -- and, this gave the appearance that we were looking at his scalp. (He was actually changing to the light golden color that he is now.)
Shame on me - but one evening, I was dying my hair its usual dark brown color, and I thought I'd give my puppy a little dye job on the top of his head. I smeared some of the goop on the top of his head and literally carried him around for 15 minutes - so, he couldn't wipe it or smear it with his paws and then carefully rinsed it off.
And lo and behold - the hair on his head was darker, and he no longer looked bald at all.
(But - like a lot of little Yorkie pups - he did have rather thin hair - but that has certainly changed. He's 14 months old now and has a wonderful thick coat of hair.)
SO - check the roots of your puppy's hair..... it may be thin - but it is probably just changing color making it look like he is almost bald...
