Hair Loss Dog Allergies

Hair loss is some of the most common concerns for owners. Although all canine health concerns need to be addressed by a veterinarian, owners can learn which problems should cause concern, and which ones can probably be easily treated. Keep in mind that if you experiences any pain as a result of any condition, you should take your pet to the veterinarian as soon as possible. Most hair loss in dogs results from allergies to fleas, food, or their environment.

This hair loss is usually localized to the area around or above the tail. Flea allergies result from a dog's sensitivity to flea saliva. This common allergy can be prevented with a flea preventative that paralyzes a flea prior to biting. Veterinarians can test for food or environmental allergies that might cause hair loss.

Owners can help their veterinarians determine the cause by observing if the hair loss is seasonal or chronic. Other, more severe cases of hair loss can result from ringworm or mange. Contrary to its name, ringworm is actually a fungus but does cause defined circular patches of hair loss, usually starting on the ears, feet, or tail. This is contagious to other animals and should be diagnosed quickly. There are two kinds of mange.

Demodex mange is not contagious and is often a sign of immune deficiencies, usually in hormonally stressed individuals (ones that have not yet been spayed or neutered). Sarcoptic mange, however, is very contagious but can be easily treated by a veterinarian.

Both kinds of mange can occur anywhere on the body but usually attack the face and feet first. In order to properly diagnose the cause of hair loss in a dog, a veterinarian needs to see the animal and potential scrape the skin and look for microscopic mites.

We strive to provide only quality information, so if there is a specific topic related to dog that you would like us to cover, please contact us at any time.
