A friend of they families rat terrier was loosing her hair, in no pattern, just sporadic.  She came to visit at New Years and we took Misty to our vet, he pulled out his black light and turned the light off and you could see in the areas with hair loss it glowed and it was a fugus she had  in her hair follicles.  He gave her pills, shampoo and a cream to use and said it would be a long process, because her hair would have to grow out.  She came last week to visit and Misty was better, her hair was growing back, we went to see Doc and he did the light again and she had just a few places that glowed, she got some more pill to give her.   I can call Doc Monday and see exactly what she had if you want and you can tell your vet.  Misty had been to two vets in Texas City and neither could find out what was wrong.        |
