Do Yorkies go bald? His topknot is gone! Rex is 5 years old, and now his topknot is gone. Two years ago he had a thin, but fluffy, silvery tuft on top of his head. Now the hair on his head is short, smooth, and copper colored. His ears are short/smooth haired. He always had a VERY thin coat, but I never even noticed as his topknot wore away. He burrows under pillows and blankets to sleep. Could he be wearing it off? Is this just a natural progression? Since it changed colors, do you think his topknot will ever grow back? |
The hair can break off. Yorkies that have a coarser coat especially have problems with hair breakage. |
Sounds like breakage, are you using a conditioner after shampoo? |
Tatum's hair is really soft but we've had problems with breakage also. I noticed this after we got Stormie (our Aust. Shep.). They play so hard outside that I think it just gets rubbed on too much. For this reason, Tatum doesn't wear a topknot on a daily basis anymore. I only put one in if we go somewhere or have company to primp for which isn't all that often. I would just let him go without a topknot for a while - hopefully the hair will grow out again. |
