| Little hair Please can anyone tell me why my baby Jinx has so little hair. If I see other babies, it looks like somebody torn out all his. I must say, I can see that his hair has grown in length since I have him now for 2 weeks. Is there something wrong? What do I have to feed, bath or rub him with? I would also like him to have lots and lots of hair. |

Yorkie Yakker | Hi, welcome to YT. How old is your baby? I know other members on here know a lot more than I do and they have helped me greatly. It may depend on the texture of his hair too. do you have a picture of him?

| How old is your puppy? Some have thinner hair for a while until they are older. Usually the one's with the thinner hair as puppies have nice silky hair as adults.

| It could be a food issue too. What type of dog food are you feeding? Perhaps post in the Health and Diet forum for additional help.

| Hi there...I went and looked at your other thread that you posted pics of Jinx - I must say I LOVE his name and he is SO CUTE!!!! He is still a baby, so in time, his adult hair will grow in much fuller. OMG he is certainly a cute little bugger |

| I have a Pekingese, I got her at 3 weeks, because her mom was bitten by another dog, so we raised her ourselves. I search the web and found a site on pekingeses. There I saw what some dogfood can do your baby, so I bought all the e-books regarding food I could found. I cook for her specifically. She is now 3 years and have a good immune system and her fur is lovely. When I got Jinx, the lady gave me pallets, but he didn't want to eat it, but he was crazy about Nushke's cook food, so I am feeding him now on that. |

Thanx for that. I also thought it was a quite name, but someone asked me last night whether I know what Jinx means. I didn't even know that it had a meaning. No I am worried, say for instance I have put a spell on my baby without even knowing it!! Do I have to change his name, but he is already getting use to it, and I still love the name! | |

| My 4.5-month puppy also has thinner hair and I was also wondering the same thing. I saw the picture you posted on the other thread. Your Jinx looks a lot like my baby!!! But with thinner hair especially on the ears and nose. This is the picture I took of her when she was 14 weeks old. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pic...ictureid=23109

This looks more like the coat my little'un has. But mine has the blueish coat and the liver colored nose, no black rim on eyes and blue eye color at 4.5 mo. Do you have any pics of how he looks now? Kerry Barrett | |
