Please help me I think my Roxxy is losing her hair. Normally when we bathe her, her hair on her head is light but you can still see the hair strands. Lately, when I bathe her, her head almost looks bald. When I dry her, her hair is white but full. I am worried. I am going to take her to the vet but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas of what's going on with her. She eats normal and makes normal. I am begining to worry that she might be losing her hair. She's only 7 months old. Any ideas? |
She could have allergies or something else on her skin causing hair loss. I'd get her to the vet if you think she's balding before she loses it all. |

When I'm pouring water over their heads, their scalps look almost bald. Judge your Roxxy's hair when it is dry, rather than wet. |
Is she actually loosing hair or is she just thin on the top? I think a vet visit is a very good idea. If there is no mange involved maybe her thyroid is off. Blood work can detect this and then again it may be she just has a thin coat. Better safe than sorry. Good luck, |
I thought it was quite normal for Yorkies to 'blow their puppy coat' right around this age? My Daisy went through a lot of changes when she was 7 months old; she had a giant growth spurt and the color of the hair on her head lightened dramatically. Of course, a vet visit is always a good idea when you are concerned....... Best wishes to you............... |
