| hair falling out! I have a 14 week yorkie. He had very fluffy hair and yesterday we gave him a bath and so much hair came out. He is not as fluffy anymore. He eats sleeps poos and pees well. Is it normal for pups hair to be coming out like that? |

| My understanding is that it is not normal for Yorkies to blow coat, even the fluffy puppy coat. Has your pup had a wellness exam with the vet yet? I would mention it and make sure the vet looks at your pup's skin closely. Any scratching or irritation?

| We will most likely take her to the vet tomorrow. She doesnt have any bald spots but she lost some hair around her neck and back. I was just surprised how much hair was left in the bathtub after a bath. |
