Please help...my 5mo old yorkie/maltese mix is losing hair This poor baby has been through so much already. At 15 weeks, he got Parvo, despite getting all his regular shots/wormings, etc... He's now 20 weeks old, and for the past few weeks has been slowly losing hair around his neck. He has been growing, so I though maybe he was just losing his puppy fluff, which after surviving Parvo, he was looking pretty weak and pitiful anyway. Could this just be a side effect of the Parvo? Or could this be something totally different? He acts completely fine now. It took a few weeks after he got out of the hospital to regain his strength, but he's back fool force now. ;-) He's growing, but hasn't really gained that much weight. He's 3.4lbs now. But he's very active, personality is great, eats good. I think he's just going to be small.
The skin and hair loss thing worries me though. Right now, it's just around his neck. His skin is a lil dry in that area too, but no sores. As you can see in the pics, it's just around his neck. Any suggestions? |
