Thank you so much for the info Tatum doesn't really have lethargy - at least to me it doesn't seem like she does I mean there are times where she just lays around, but then again she can be SO hyper at times and gets up and plays with her brother and runs around the house like a little crazy girl The only hair loss she has had was around her nose/mouth area, but that was when our vet found out that she had a skin infection after he did a skin scraping. He put her on meds and it cleared it up, HOWEVER...she has been itching more lately and now she is having yet more hair loss around the nose/mouth area. Also, the skin on the top of her little nose (where the hair loss is) is quite dry, and flaky at times too.
