| Color hair change I have a five year old yorkie who has beautiful silver hair. The other day I noticed that she suddenly has some strange brown spots growing in?.... What's that all about? Help! |

| Did she lose hair there by chance. One time chachi lost hair on his back and black spots came where silver was. It changed back to silver though in time

| Teddy had a beautiful silvery saddle but now has some brownish hair mixed in. I blame our terrible water, which went bad over the last year. It is affecting the human hair in our house too. Sun exposure may also be a contributing factor.

| She hasn't lost any hair and the texture of the brownish red hair seems to be different too. Thanks for your insight and our water has had a lot of chlorine in it lately? |

| Callie had those to until she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and after being on the medicine it started to go away. You might want to have you vet check her thyroid.
