Bruno went to the vets this week for his annual check up and vaccinations. Whilst we were there she noticed (I had also) that he was losing fur on his sides. One side is worse than the other.
She tested for Demodex which was negative. She said it could be seasonal, so he has to have 6mg of melatonin twice a day for a few weeks. If this doesn't work he will be tested for hypothyroid. He has no symptons, no itchy, scaly skin. If this is a seasonal thing, why didn't it happen last year? We got him last summer.
Has anyone else come across this in their bullies.
I feel like a bad Mum, because I don't like the "not knowing". I don't want him ending up losing more fur.
I have attached a photo.
