Guest Anonymous Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 Have you talked to your vet about this? It could be a bacterial or viral infection. I know my horses sometimes get what is called ringworm. It takes off their hair in a circular pattern. If you don't take care of it, it spreads. I suggest you talk to your vet or whoever you got the puppies from and see if there are others from the litter with this problem. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 yes i talked the the vet but at the time all he could tell me is that she is alergic to fleas cuz she had a rash at first and it created pus bumps.. i've just recently found out tho that the puppies mamma sister well they had her for about 6 years and recently her hair started falling out.. so it could also be heredity... but the hair on her chest is completely bald... i've changed the food so see if later on its gotten better...so i pray for the best that it is the food.. thanks Quote

Shannon_C Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 I would go by what your vet says about fleas as these can cause hair loss, leaving bald patches. Your dogs should be fleaded regular to prevent getting those horrible things. Shannon Bullmastiff Owner, Researcher/Adviser of the Breed. Lover of all Animals! Quote
