I just got a yorkie puppy. She is female and is 16 weeks old. She is starting to lose the hair on her head. The vet said it was something genetic. Is there something that is available that may help grow her hair back?

The vet would know, just ask him. I have two yorkies and they have all kinds of problems. My male dog weezes all the time. My female has allergies real bad. She just cost me $200.00 in the past 2 weeks in vet bills. (That was just for 2 visits. I took her in because she had some kind of eye infection.)
I am sure the hair will grow back soon. It is probably just some puppy hair and will come back thicker. My female had very coarse black hair when I first got her. It has since thinned and gotten some silver. It is also alot softer. Your new baby is only a few months old so give her time to grow. Don't worry so much, just enjoy her and give her lots of LOVIN'.

If it is genetic, no, however make sure she gets good
puppy food that has extra fat than dog chow.
Believe this: she's also going through anxiety because of her new home....Yorkies are high strung and get nervous very easily and start to shake...Talk calmly, get her a small crate (called a house) and put her in it at night...and yes you can keep the crate near your bed....this house could give her a sense of a stable environment. She should go there for naps and such, and don't give her the run of the house, otherwise you will get mad when she has accidents.
Put a small rug in it for warmth, but nothing that she can eat....or she will chew on the towel.
You can train her to go outside by taking her outside when you open the crate in the morning and every 2 or 3 hours thereafter. Always praise her for going outside.
Don't forget to get puppy treats to reward her when she goes outside or does something that you want her to repeat, or just plain good behavior.
Check with petco or petsmart to see if they have any suggestions and tell them the vet says it's genetic.

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://bitly.im/aOeuZ While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

When yorkies are puppies they do have thinning of the hair, this is perfectly normal. However, if he is showing other symptons, sick, weak, lethargic, call your vet.

No you won't lose your hair because of that. Masturbation is actually good for you.
