Could it be from a rabies shot? That does happen sometimes....usually round, about the size of a nickel - quarter.

Picture??

Could be from a shot, like ladyjane said. Could also be from ringworm - does the area look darkened at all or funny, or is it just completely bald?

Is the area near where a former vaccine was given? If so, the vet should've mentioned how it was likely from where a vaccine was given.

Just a thought - does there happen to be a 'matching one' on her other side?

Not with Harry (because he's a boy!!!

) but with Rosie our Labrador....a small patch used to appear on her side/towards her hips at the times of year when she would have been in season (if she hadn't been spayed).

Sounds a bit nuts - but for her I think it was a hormonal thing....
