thank you!

did he just do the scrape in one spot or did he do it in multiple spots? Did he check for fleas (i only ask because of the red bumps)? Has she always had this problem or did it just recently start? What kind of food is she eating? Did you start washing her with a new shampoo or start using a new cleaning product/laundry detergent/perfume? anything else start around the same time as the hair loss (it could be something minute that you wouldn't normally think of as a problem)?

i'd ask the vet your going to see on friday to do a blood panel and a thyroid check. thyroid problems can cause hair loss.
