Dog has bald spots?
My mom has a boxer that is losing hair in spots.
Has any one ever had this happen to their dog and if so did you find out why? My Mom hates taking him to the vet because he acts bad and fights her going in. I am going to take him for her if it don't get better soon, any info in the mean time would be great. Thanks |

Hello,
Well my parents took there dog in and they said it was because he's gettng old, he needed to go on a diet but I think they said just getting older, although you should take him in asap... does he have fleas? Maybe he's itching too much... |

No he don't have fleas. My Mom gets the spot treatment from the vet, she already started it in march. He is a little over weight thow. But he's only about 4yrs.

My friend has a boxer with the same condition, it was a skin irritaion and stress that caused the bald spots. He waited a long time before taking the dog to the vet, the poor dog didn't have much hair left by the time they finally went, it's been over a year and most of the hair still hasn't grown back.
I would go to the vet asap. |

Yep. My dog lost hair in spots and ALL of it's hair on it's tail. Took dog to a high class vet and he took some skin samples and sent them to a lab in Philadelphia and kept the dog overnight.
The diagnosis of an underactive thyroid was made, but the vet thought that the prognosis was poor that he would get his hair back. We started him on thyroid pills and ALL of his hair came back. He didn't mind taking his pill everyday either. Miss the poor fella. |

I woke up one morning and noticed I had a bald spot about the size of a nickel in the back of my head. A couple weeks later now three more spots have popped up but they are somewhat smaller than the first one. What could be causing my hair to disappear in spots like this?
