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.
Her symptoms really don't sound like hypothyroidism to me. The hair loss is usually on the trunk and legs.

What did the skin scraping the last time reveal? It sounds like it could be the same thing again.

I found this image on Google which shows what hair loss from hypothyroidism usually looks like.
