I adopted a one year old male Yorkie. I was told when he was born he could not walk, but they taught him how to walk so now he does. The other problem he has had since birth is that he is missing hair in spots. He itches quite a bit and the hair he does have is short. It looks like he had been shaved, but he hasn't. Any advice? Can they be born with a thyroid problem?

The itching and hair loss are definite signs your dog may have a skin condition, parasites and/or allergies which cause the itching. Any of these conditions do not resolve easily and need your vet's help and possible medication.
Have you taken him to your vet to identify any possible problems with his itching and hair loss, and his current medical status? Your vet can evaluate your dog's medical condition and provide possible medication and good suggestions for helping your dog.
