| Hairless but loved I have a bald (the black hair anyway) 5mo old puppy given to me by my nephew after a bad breakup. Can't get any background info on breeding deficiencies. I suspect depressed immune system due to poor breeding practices, even though his conformation is great. Vet bills are killing me! Switched his diet to duck and potato, been on antibiotics for secondary staph (bumps that are ongoing after treatment) and have him on ivomec for possible demodectic mange. Wits end coming right up. HELP! |

| There is a problem in some black/steel blue coated dogs that causes them to lose that hair, but I can't think of the name right now. ...Color dilution alopecia... What has been ruled out?

| I would also recommend a Vet Dermatologist. They can do skin scrappings and skin biopsies to make sure nothing else is going on. Welcome to YT, by-the-way!

There are so many people with such valuable information on YT, I'm sure they'll help you through it. Welcome!! (would love to see some pics )
