spots of hair loss
Submitted by Beth and Jasper on April 7, 2011 - 12:50pmdoes anyone know what causes these spots of hair loss?This is the largest one, two smaller ones are visable in photo. Starts out as a raised scab, then the hair comes out. Skin isn't red or weepy, sometimes dark. The hair will grow back. I asked the vet, he said to clean with hydrogen peroxide, then apply neosporin ointment. But I'd like to prevent them from occuring if possible. Jasper has been on a grain free diet for years so don't think that's the culprit.

I believe it's a staph infection. My French BD gets them and a round of Cephalexin clears it up. He has terrible allergies, mostly environmental so not much we can do. He's on a strict grain free, limited ingredient diet so it's not food related. Good luck.
