Hello I have a small morkie. I thought that I would join this forum because out seems like there is a lot of good information here. I do have a question right more though. Please see attached picture. Does this look like dry skin or something more serious? Does not seem to be bothering her.

Is the hair thin there? it's hard to tell in the pic whats going on. Is your pet on flea and tick prevention? Sometimes yorkies have sensitive skin, if your concerned I would take a quick trip to the vet.

Thank you for the quick reply. The picture did post bad. It would only let me upload 200k. There is no hair there and it is darker thank her normal skin. It looks like dry skin flakes on top, but they do not come off. She is on sentinal heartworm meds. I am probably going to take her to the vet tomorrow, but wanted to see what people thought.

It's hard to see, but it might be flea dirt, if you are concerned, then you should call and check with your vet. Welcome to YT, and we'd love to see a picture of your furbaby.

Welcome to the Forum.

Yes, often times there are limitations on Picture size. One might start a free account on Photobucket or ImageShack, and just give the link to the picture there. They don't have very stringent limits on size.

However, it looked like you just got too close to the subject.
Forcing an out of focus.
