| If Chloe is dropping loads of hair that is not normal! Yorkies do not shed. You might find a few little hairs in a comb or brush but that's about it. Have you pup vet checked. Maybe a vitimin deficiency of some sort. What kind of food does he eat? |

| She takes Nutro choise! No she doesn't have any bare spots, she isn't actually dropping whole patches of hair. It's just that when I'm brushing her I find more hair than usual on her comb, and even when I pat her a little peel comes in my hand |

| Sorry I haven't a clue. I was worried about mange but if there are no bare spots it's not that. Thank heavens. Do a search on line or PM one of the breeders. Perhaps they can better assist you so you can stop worring. I'm sure everything is ok. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Dogs can lose hair from mange, alopecia, stress, skin diseases. I'd get her checked out...

| This is true. Hormonal changes after they have whelped will often cause hair loss and change in color, usually lightening.
