How to tell if your yorkie is blue born or not? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I would be prone to think your puppy has an allergy of some kind. I do not think it is Alopecia myself. She does not look like she was born a blue puppy.
I would take her to another vet and have them check her, food allergies, fleas or an allergy to something in the house can make the hair fall out.

CDA is not common in a typically colored yorkie. It is more typical of other breeds, like the Chihuahua, but moslt especially in fawn colored dogs. The yorkie is blue/silver/gray which is similar to fawn, though genetically different. Perhaps this is why your vet seems to think it may be CDA? Just a suggestion.

Sometimes puppies develop a bald spot around an injection site. Were any of the shots given there?
