hair loss on legs and scratching? help little boy is 7 1/2 years, and i just got back from college and my dad had been taking care of him. i got him back today and he has major hair loss on his hind legs. also he has some small black spots on his stomach..not sure if its from aging or an infection of some sort. he sometimes will yelp when i pick him up for no reason, it scares me and sometimes he scratches his head/ears and back. please help if you have experienced something like this... |
I'd get this kiddo to a vet asap - he has something wrong with his skin. It could be an infection, mites/mange, yeast infection, other fungus or even something systemic. The vet should do a skin scrape, and if it were me I'd want basic blood work done him too...and maybe even a thyroid panel bc of the fur loss. |
Poor baby. I would get him to the vet today. Is it possible the black spots could be fleas or flea dirt? Let us know how it goes please. |
I'd say "to the vet ASAP". Good luck & keep us posted! |
