| Balding? Our little girl Lexus is 3 months old now, and it looks like she's starting to go a little bald on the top of her head. The vet says she's shedding her puppy hair and growing her adult coat, has anyone else heard of this, I couldn't find anything about it online. Maybe I need a new vet? |

| You are right, it does look like she's going grey or silver (whitish), but the hair on the top of her head is thinner and softer then the rest of her coat. |

| That white will even eventually turn to silver or tan

| My Scooter bug is getting a real light grey color on top of his head. At first I thought he was balding also, but when I looked closer, it's just that new hair coming in. He is almost 4 months old. Kay |

| losing puppy color, dont panick! Dont worry, your baby is simply growing up I have a 4 month old that currently looks like an old woman needing to dye her roots or one of the Hyenas from The Lion King movie~!~~ no kidding she is a pitiful sight right now...my male remained black on his back and only went thru this ugly stage on his head so we are really looking at her as the ugly duckling right now. Your beautiful swan will evolve right before your eyes...promise! |
