Ring worm causes hair loss also.

This is her bald spot of hair lose.

wheres the bald spot?

some people who just breed to breed and dont do the research dont know the true answers..the guy, i could be wrong, but i think the blue skin is an old wives tale for what color coat they will have as an adult...cant really tell at that young of an age

she is beautiful

I dont know the answer, but OMG she is adorable!

She is darling, and I don't know much about blue-born, but she doesn't look like any I've seen on here. She looks like a normal Yorkie to me, and I hope there is some other explanation for her hair loss.

Where is the bald spot on her body? Are you sure she didn't lick away the spot of hair? One of my puppies did that once due to itching flea bites. Maybe you should get a second opinion from a different vet.

She doesnt look like a blue born at all. Her fur is nice and black on her main body...it would be grey! Hopefully, there is some simple solution to her hair loss. I would definately get a 2nd opinion! She is a real cutie!!

Sorry I can't help you much but She is ADORABLE!!!! what a cute face she has!!!!
Hope her hair will grow!

what did the vet say besides the medical term? Did they say that her hair will grow?

You also mentioned this was when you switched from Royal Canin to Wellness puppy correct? Perhaps going back to Royal Canin won't be bad. My coco's eating Royal Canin right now because thats what the breeder fed. I will switch when I move to Canada with her in August.

You might want to ask your vet about Melatonin. I have a foster who had hair loss on his trunk due to Alopecia X, also known as pseudo-cushings. We started him on Melatonin and his hair started growing back in about 8 weeks. Below are before and after pics of Sunny D:







You also might want to get another opinion from a dermatologist to be sure it is the correct diagnosis.

I agree I think he needs a 2nd opinion on this

KenLong your puppy is absolutley beautiful! I would definitely get a second opinion. Where are you in NY? Are you in the city? If so, I can recommend a wonderful vet for you.

Hi...just wanted to check back and see if you had gotten a 2nd opinion??
