Here's a link I found that lists possible causes and treatments for hair loss in dogs. I definitely think that your vet could have ran some tests to rule out any SERIOUS underlying causes. How does he know it's not due to allergies or something? Treatment may not work if you're just treating the symptom and not the underlying cause of the symptom.
This link does say that alopecia is characterized by patches of hair loss especially on the head, neck, and body; no itching - does this sound like what your little one has? It also says that the hair usually grows back spontaneously.
I hope everything works out okay!  |
Hi Oscar's Mummy.
Thank you for the link and your kind words. I now agree that he should have ran test. I didn't realize there were all these different test that we're available. Sadie does, however, have serious thinning starting from her head to the middle of her back and lots of loss on her whole chest with little to no itching. Her hair is also matting a lot even with the brushing. I do plan on calling in the morning and maybe get my vet to do a little more before I go off and send her back to the breeder. I love my Sadie dearly and I can't imagine how devastating it would be to me, my husband and especially our children if we "replaced" her.
