Hair thinning on pup

Post by Run and Gun »

I have a 4month old pup that in the last week has lost hair around the base of his tail and the back of his legs. He also has 3 spots on his head that are bare. He has been wormed and all shots . I first thought it might be the straw but I took him out of the straw and it still isnt getting any better. Any advice.

Sounds like mange ?? friends pups had it from the dam. Bunch of bald spots on them too. Treated it with Ivomec I think but someone more qualified could answer your post.

Let your vet do a skin scrape test,, sounds like it could be sarcoptic mange. Its no biggie to cure!!!
