Melanocyte alopecia and zincc responsive dermatitis have come up, but definitely no diagnosis right now. I think she is losing some hair on her ear too.
If we have unlimited funds, I'd probably choose to biopsy or do a ton of bloodwork, but she doesn't appear to be in danger, so we are just watching it. A derm consult also wouldn't be a bad idea, but no rush here...
I hope your vet figures it out.
BTW, Ellie is usually itchy to an extent and she rubs her face, but not enough to cause anything like this. |
Is she losing any hair on her elbows, sides of her chest or abdomen? Is her skin smooth on her underside? I'm sorry, how old is she?
