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.
Oh my goodness!! WOW. That poor little angel!! Well, Tatum definitely doesn't have that as I'm sure you have probably at one time or another seen her BODY FULL of super thick hair that touches the ground...LOL.

Here is what the vet's notes said (word for word) when we took her in for the skin scraping:

Patient has small amount of Alopecia and Pruitis on dorsal aspect of nose; taping showed a ++++ Cocci Bacteria count suspect contact allergy, Atopy with a secondary Pyoderma.
