QuestionI recently got a one year old yorkie from a friend who has hair loss/no hair on his spine back to his tail. There is some hair there but it is not a lot. What could this be? I've known the yorkie since before I got him and he's always been like this. Thank you for your time!
AnswerIF the hair is gone then there are two possibilities. He could have been born with a defect in the hair follicles there. Or there could have been a skin injury, like a burn, that affected the hair follicles so the hair won't grow back. Severe flea allergy could cause this, too.
