I agree w/ what Deb says - if there is marked hair loss/shedding, there is something going on here. Just fyi too, dogs can have ringworm without there being the typical "ring" - rather, there can be an area of hair loss (subtle at first).

Also, it could mayyyybe be a sign of malabsorption - what is her poo like, is it normal?
