    I couldn't find your picture so I'm literally speculating, but it could be dermatitis mange. This mange is caused by mites, which all dogs get from their mothers. Not infectious to other dogs or humans. You can see the mites under a microscope. If it is dermatitis mange, I'd ignore it unless it starts getting out of control since it's not harmful. I don't think you'd need a groomer unless your baby is seriously resistant to nail trimming. As others have mentioned, they shed a couple of times a year. Usually not a big deal.

    No, I have not talked to the breeder. That is a good suggestion and I will do that right away. Thanks

    A Vet for sure…. 1st thing to do, period. Puppies loose their puppy teeth starting at 4 months... never heard of drooling like what you describe... so without a doubt... Vet for sure... immediately

    @DebraDownSouth: The issue is that Dodds looks at all dogs, but breeds vary. Ask your vet about a trial of low dose. Dodds is pretty much a sighthound specialtist… So I would tend to believe what she is saying... I would retest in 3 months and see if the Free T3 is still at the same level.
