| I'm baaaackkkk!!! Help! Peanut is.... losing the hair on his back! He isn't itchy and the skin isn't red, but his hair is falling out. The vet was stumped so we are doing a blood profile on him and a ringworm culture. She doesn't think it is ringworm though. Any ideas out there of what it might be? I've been coming and going to Mexico a lot and have lost touch with y'all! How is everyone?

| Has your vet did a skin scrape to check for mites? When Chachi had them he lost all the hair on his back

| Hey girl!!!! We've missed ya!!! Glad to see that you are back!!!! Sorry to hear about Peanut! Poor wittle guy! I hope its nothing serious. I don't have any thing for sure what this could be, but could it possibly be alopcia. I know, its a thing mostly people get...for no real reason at all, but my girlfirend has a boxer, and she gets patches of hair loss all the time. And That is what it is...Boxer alopcia. She never itches or scratches or anyhting. She just loses patches of hair. So it may be possible for our yorkie babies to get it too. That is just my opinion.,,,,for I am not a doctor or anything. But....well ya never know. I know people get it for no reason, or they are really stressed out. But whatever it is, I hope Peanut is ok!!! Give him kisses!!! ANd Brasco has been worried sick about his precious wittle Wexy girl! He misses his girlfirend ya know! HAHAHAHHAHA!!! Glad to see you are still aorund! Hope all is well!!!!!!!!!

I Love Thor Donating Member | Glad your back too!!!!!!!! Poor lil' Peanut! I wonder what this could be? He's not itchy you say? Diet maybe? Have you changed it? Or maybe a new treat he's been getting? New cleaners you may be using? I'm stumped! Keep us updated tho! |
