| Balding? Hi all, my baby is now 4 months old and i've noticed that the top part of his head between his ears is starting to bald. its had less hair than the rest of his body about a month after i received him (he was 10 weeks then) but now i noticed that its just turning very light gray to white and when i take a bath for him, it looks like theres nothing there anymore! anyone else have this problem? is it normal? maybe from being pet too much in one spot? |

| This is perfectly normal! His hair is just changing color, so it just looks like he is balding! We thought the same thing with our yorkie, Hobbs. We took him to the groomer and when he came back, he looked like he was BALD! But, we then realized that the hair on top of his head was just changing colors. Surely your little guy isn't going bald. |

| thanks RLC for the reassurance, i sure hope he isnt! its just a lil nerve wrecking to think that he is! maybe its just camoflagued, or i hope it is. |

| Don't worry....I felt the exact same way when Hobbs started to change color. Your yorkie's whole body will start to change colors soon and you will notice that it will not look like he is balding anymore. |
