I would def go to a Vet Dermatologist as soon as you can as the fur loss could be from so many other things...hypothryoid, allergies, skin infection, Cushings, ring worm, malnutrition. A derm will at least be able to help with those first 5 things...either diagnosing them or ruling them out.

For hair loss in Cushings dogs, they are given Melatonin 2x a day and it does help a ton! Ferrets are also given Melatonin for fur loss. So, I'd be sure and ask your Vet Derm if Melatonin would help w/ whatever the fur loss is caused from in your kiddo.
