Losing hair between shoulders
Submitted by Bb1schoff on February 15, 2016 - 10:37pmI've got a 7.5 month old english bulldog who is losing hair between her shoulders. There is no redness or inflamation, but she is losing her coat - or so it looks. We have fed her Canidae Life Stages until recently and are currently transitioning her to Halo. We only switched her due to the hair loss. We also give her NuVet Plus and she gets a dab of coconut oil, plain yogurt, or a cracked egg occasionally. She is not itching and has no other signs. It has been really dry here and cold. We all have dry skin and chapped lips. Any ideas?
I am no help....
But I know there will be someone who can give you some good ideas! I hope you get the issue resolved.

Any way you can post a picture?
At 7 1/2 months, demodex is always a possibility. Have your vet do a skin scraping and look for mites under a scope.
Can we see a photo
I would take her to the Vet just to be sure
Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail.
Maybe seasonal flank alopesia?
Is this like this? If it's seasonal flank alopesia, it's purely cosmetic and not dangerous. Not pretty, but not dangerous.
