| Hair Loss on Nose My Yorkie, Chloe has some slight hair loss on the right side of her nose. It doesn't seem to bother her, and she doesn't really touch it at all. Does anybody know what it could be? |

| There are a number of things that can cause hair loss. Rubbing against crates, xpens, gates will do it. Anything a dog sticks his or her nose up against routinely. A fungal infection, bug bite, pimple, all kinds of other things can cause hair loss. How old is she? Did this start recently? Do you have a photo that isn't as close up? I can't see anything in the photo you posted.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | The photo is really too blown out for me to tell anything. But missing hair on nose could be rubbing, like Kristin said...and/or something fungal like ringworm or something. I'd get it checked just to be sure...

| How old is Chloe? Does she have any redness in her ears? It could be that she is getting a skin yeast infection. It is hard to tell from the pictures. I am sure the vet would be able to let you know if it is anything to be concerned about. You could also rub a little bit of coconut oil on her nose and see if the hair starts growing back. Please keep us posted on how she is doing.
