Widget will be two. He was diagnosed with legg-calve-perthes and had a FHO done at 9 months. I have noticed that he has such thin hair more-so since I have another pup from a reputable breeder that has gorgeous hair. (I think that makes Widget's hair more noticable). He has never had thick hair even as a puppy. Could this mean that there is something wrong with his thyroid? He eats fine has never had a lot of energy but does play. The only symptom is that his hair is very thin and always has been. Should I rush him to the vet for tests if that is the only reason I am concerned? I hate to spend money on tests if there really isn't any reason to. He seems to have more hair on his head and back then his legs or belly.
