Hair Loss on an entire patch!! Hi guys! please help me. I noticed a patch (circular form) on the shoulder of my yorkie and all of the hair has fallen on that area! The affected area of the skin is a little bit redish with blemishes and it is in a circular form. Does anyone here experienced this on their yorkie? What could this be?? :( I'm so worried. Though he has not experience appetite loss and he still is very energetic. Any ideas guys on what this could be? Thanks! |
Sounds like it could possibly be ringworm. Lyme Disease is another possibility, although I don't know if Lyme is prevalent in your part of the world. I would take her to see a doctor as soon as possible. |
I'd get a culture done asap for ringworm as its contagious to humans. It'll take about 10-14 days for a culture to be grown out. |
I have seen this a few times over the years and it was injection related. The rabies shot often causes this. The skin is fine....the hair comes out in a circular area. BUT...you should take him to the vet to find out for sure what it is. |
