My poor baby, Sassy, had to get a shave. I have been very very sick and wasn't able to brush her like she needed and hubby didn't get her groomed. When I took her this week they told me they would have to shave her.... she was BEAUTIFUL... now... she looks so...sad and... tiny.. except for her head... which they left the hair longer... how long will it take for her hair to grow back? Will it grow back like it was???

She will grow back, how long depends on her hair type. The cottony coats seem to grow faster, but are harder to manage, the nice silky hair takes longer to grow but is much easier to control.

Sorry to hear you've been sick. MM is right about the hair growth. I keep mine long but i shave the bellys.

Took Yoda about a month to return to semi-normal. And now it's about two months now and he's pretty much fine... Just takes a bit of time, make sure your baby doesn't shiver from being too cold with a thinner coat of hair. And welcome to YorkieTalk!

Welcome to YorkieTalk!! Sorry your baby had to get shaved .... like fasteddie said ... be sure she stays warm! I would also continue brushing daily so she will still be accustomed to it!
