Ok, so heres the situation. Tilly is loosing hair like crazy and its ONLY around the barrel of her back/ sides. It started as a small, half dollar size patch that the fur was just thinning, and it has increasingly gotten worse. Now let me just say, I have down skin scrapes, all negative. Checked her thyroid, negative. We have plucked some hairs to see if it might be a fungus, but no results yet as it need to incubate for a certain amount of time. The only thing we have come up with is, 'seasonal flank alopecia' which from what I understand is another common bulldog issue. She is currently taking melatonin - 5mg twice daily, going on about 3 weeks or so. And she is also on fluconazole for a yeast infection in between her toes If in fact this is S.F.A. I was told that it could take up to alomst 3 months to see any affects when using the melatonin. My biggest concern, is she is going to go completely bald before it even starts to get better!!!
Has ANYONE had to deal with something of this nature or even heard of it??? I'm at a huge loss on what direction to turn....Oh, and let me add, she does take her monthly comfortis (flea prevention), shes not itchy one bit. Everything else about her is completely normal, minus the balding
