Hello All,
I noticed a few weeks ago that Petey had a few spots of hair gone on his back, but didn't think about it because he rolls around a lot in the backyard, but today I gave him a bath and noticed that the hair was thinning quite bad on his back and the small spots were getting bigger. I'm a little concerned. I get obsessive over Petey's health. This also coincided with him not wanting to eat this food, his puppy food is Eukanuba. I took him to the vet over not wanting to eat and she said he mostly likely was starting to grow a distaste for his puppy food and to gradually start switching him to adult food, which I'm feeding him Science Diet.
Of course I dove into the internet to see what his hair loss could be from, which only made my anxiety worse. I'm wondering is it is food allergies, but he isn't itching or scratching. I also came across information on demodectic mange, which is common in puppies and bulldogs, as well as seasonal alopecia. Does anyone have some insight on what could be the issue or have ran into this. The hair loss is only on his back.
Thanks a million!
