I'd expect his coat to stay dark.
If you want him to look more like a yorkie you can use and groom him differnt and use other products.
There are so many things it could be. The vomit and hair loss may or may not be related. Keep the communication with the vet.

thanx hes adorable so it doesnt matter if he changes colors but i guess i would call his coat cottony? lol its really soft and fluffy and when he gets a bath its super curly. Im still doing the barium friday so that will tell us once and for all what the prob is with vomiting i hope. If nothing else it will rule out blockage and megaesophagus. Im hoping the fur is just b/c of the recent food switch but im going to ask the vet just in case thanx for all the input

Anytime. They can have sensitive stomachs. This isn't usually how it goes. You know that. You're doing the right thing.

Do you have photos of his teeth?

Does he get matted if you don't brush him what seems like daily? He looks like he a sweetheart. I have a feeling you're in for a treat with a new suprise. They manipulate all.

In the photos his nose is shaved. If you allow the hair on his nose to grow pass the stage that drives you nuts you will be better off. It's hard to do. It's like you having bangs that are growing in your eye level and they keep poking you in the eye. It's easier to just chop them than to allow them to grow past that stage. You may choose some a product or bear w/ it. Once they get past the bad part you will part the hair. It will fall over the bridge of the nose. You can expect it to make his nose appear less pointed. You won't have to keep cutting it. The hair will stop poking him in the eye when it grows. It will give him more of a teddy bear face.

Make sure you update up on the test. I hope he gets a quick diagnose to put Timmy's past life all in back of him.

i dont have any photos of his teeth..they are getting cleaned friday along with the barium..that way only one anesthesia his mouth is slimy and he doesnt let me brush..so im gonna start working on that AFTER the cleaning. He was groomed at the shelter..or they got him groomed anyway..so i prob will let his nose hair grow a bit. He doesnt seem to get matted at all so far..i only brush him every few days and his hair is so soft i havent noticed any matting.

I had him on Eukanuba, what my pom is on, and he threw up....so i switched to sensitive systems purina with salmon and it made it WAY WORSE. So now hes back on eukanuba and doing much better..still no reason for the throw up..we're doing a barium study friday. Could the food switching be the reason for the hair loss?

omg yes plz dont switch food so fast little by little it messes up digestive system Bunny is on Eukanuba (small breed) wanna switch her to something better maybe science diet

My Posh is a mixture of gray with streaks of brown in the face and her body has lightened from black to a darker gray. posh is almost a year.Will her face ever turn that beautiful brown color I see in yorkies? I hope so...

My Libby will be 12 weeks in a couple of days and there is already such a drastic difference in her color than when I brought her home at 8 weeks! Her face was almost completely black now it much lighter with more tan coming in.

It can take up to 3 years for their coloring to change completely.

It has been at least 3 years for two and the coloring has stop, and sasha she is still changing at 2.

I knew Neko hair color would change but it still kinda took me by surprise. I was playing with his hair and I noticed brown roots. I am loving this entire experience.

this may sound like a dumb question but i'm asking anyways.
looking at the pictures i have of princess what color would you say her hair is? she's my first and only yorkie and i know their hair colors change and vary and i was just looking to get someones opinion on it.
thanks.

Suzi just turned 3 years old on the third of this month. My goodness, The top of her head now is more white then silver now. I was not expecting that to happen. Towards the back of her she has the silver coloring more so there, she has a really pretty gold that hangs down around her face nowthat her hair is longer. She has lots of silver on her back, and I think their will be more coming as she ages.

My Sasha will soon be two and I've noticed her color changing too! She was of course the black and tan as an "infant" and over time became a beautiful silver with tan/red head and feet. Lately I've seem very dark steely grey, almost black roots coming in. When we first had her groomed, they left a little flouce of her black baby hair on her tail which I couldn't bear to cut off. It was her baby hair! Now it's gotten long and needs to be trimmed. I love her silver, it's so light she almost glows! She's my moonbeam! It kind of saddens me to see the change but she will still be my baby girl.

Hi, I'm a new Yorkie Mommy. Ladybug was born 7-6-2011. We just got her at 10 weeks old. She's already turning tan and silvery gray. Most photos I see of pups that young are always all black and tan with lots and lots of fluffy fur and ears standing erect. Ladybug's ears haven't stood up yet and she isn't as fluffy as other pups. My friend even asked if her hair was cut before we brought her home because her yorkie had such long hair. Ladybug is the most beautiful yorkie pup I've seen but I'm still just wondering if I should be concerned.
