yorkie losing hair (help) my yorkie was neutered 7 months ago and ever since then has been losing his hair. he has lost it around sides , under neck and above! rest of it is really thin and where it was once really soft to the touch now it is real coarse feeling. took to vet where he said skin looked healthy as he doesnt itch or there are no red spots or anything...anyone ever heard of this happening? do you think it could be the anesthesia? and will it grow back? it is just coming back in a little so far and very scarce.. |
I haven't experienced this but I'm sure someone will have some advice. |
Hair loss is a symptom of thyroid disease and yes, sometimes yorkies have thyroid problems. If that's the cause...the treatment is simply taking a pill every day. I did have a friend whose cat had hair loss after being neutered. His vet determined his hormones were out of whack....gave him a hormone shot...the hair grew back. |
thank you both very much for your replys...i will have him checked for thyroid! |
