Very Concerned.. Waiting on vet to open... please HELP I was scared to post this... but i really need help until i can get to the vet to see what she thinks. its 7 am and they don't open til around 9. Yesterday I noticed a white spot where cody has no hair there... i read on the search that they lose puppy hair. when i brush him i get a little hair but not much. and he sheds a little on my clothes. but nothing major. should i be concerned?? i cant get any good pics of it right now. could it be he is just losing the puppy hair and new hair will come through??? :confused: :confused: |
He could be getting new hair in, or he might have fleas. Did you look for them? It could be a couple of things, but nothing that I know of would be serious, so cuddle him a lot and go to the vet. He'll be fine. |
thanks for replying so fast!!! ive checked for fleas and have seen none. i use advantage and we've never had problems. ill sit and pray time flies :) i hope it turns out to be nothing serious. |
Well I'm getting dressed and fixing to go take Cody to the vet to see what she can tell me about this... and then i have bills to pay ... ugh. so as soon as i get back i'll post and let ya know what i found out. keep us in your prayers that it is a positive reply |
spot It is where he had his rabies shot..? |
Keep us posted! Good luck at the vet. It is always so hard waiting! :( Be sure to post an update so we know Cody is ok. |
Where is the spot? Zoey got a bare spot on her head where I had been pulling her hair up, and she would try to knock it down. |
it's on his left side |
I just got a pic im gonna upload it... give me few mins |
1 Attachment(s) Ok here is a picture of it. |
Our dog got a bald spot (twice) after being vaccinated. I think it was an allergic reaction, but the hair grew back. I'm anxious to hear what the vet says. |
he had his rabies shot when i got him.... and then he had his bordatella and parvo his 3rd and last set at my vet... maybe its a reaction from that but he had his shots a month or so ago.. would he just now be getting a reaction from it? i would think it would have shown up before now the vet doesnt get in til about 9:30 or 10 so ill find out in just a few more mins. its 9 here now.. im gonna run to the bank so i can get a money order to pay rent. and then swing by the vets |
It could be a bug bite or bee sting. Some dogs are very sensitive... I've heard of tic bites they loose hair.. Even if she was on a med for that it may have tried to bite????????? I've seen dogs that have throid problems having spots of hair missing or it falls out easily.. When females are under stress from whelping sometimes will blow their coats.. Dog's poorly nurished under these conditions will also blow coats.. |
Not sure what it could be? Hope everything is ok i will be watching to see what it is. Good luck |
ok i just got home... sorry for the long wait they were real busy in the vets today. alot of new puppies getting health certs and all. so they did a skin scraping and she didnt see any mange or fleas or nothing so she is sending off a culture she thinks its fungus. but not a ringworm type. so i'll know in 10 days. the vet put him on antibiotic cephalexin 3 times a day. the damage for todays visit.... $66.00 the office visit recheck..... $17.00 (normally its 25.00 office visit) skin scraping.....$10.00 culture(fungal)........$20.00 cephalexin drops 250mg/5ml...........$19.00 |
