My 9 year old male, started lossing his hair on the back of his neck. Slowly it is spreading down the top of his back, down his sides.
I’ve taken him to the vet, they’ve done skin scrapes, which comes back negative. Thyroid tests that come back normal. The last attempt was a round of antibiotics, Incase he had a deep down fungus....
He’s always had a little dandruff and when this started, he had big flakes and it’s out of control. I’ve used prescribed shampoos, melasab shampoo and his flakes are “better”. But the problem is still there.
Anyone have/had similar issues? Insight?
