hair loss question???? I have noticed lately when giving my Izzy her bath that she is losing a lot of hair...no baldness any where. I didn't think yorkies were suppose to shed like this. I ask my husband if they shed a winter coat but he said no...I don't give her vitamins and I feed her Purina small bites and Ceasers Cuisine...she will not touch Iams or Eucanuba! Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated..:confused: |
She should not be "shedding". Hair loss is a symptom of thryroidism and also mange. She needs to see the vet to determine the cause. |
I just had her at the vet for her yearly check up and the vet said she looked excellent. Of course i forgot to ask him about the shedding.. |
Unless there is enough hair loss to see it visually and a vet to suggest testing....a blood test would be required to diagnose a thyroid problem. Mange would require a skin scrapping. You may want to consider feeding her a higher quality food.... |
I think I will call the vet and have her tested...thank you so much! |

Also, it could mayyyybe be a sign of malabsorption - what is her poo like, is it normal? |
I have the same problem! I see hair in his bath water and lightly on my clothes when I wear white. I am switching his food from Royal Canin to Innova puppy dry food. I think it may be the corn meal. He has a full beautiful coat. |
