I have a 4 month ancient Jack Russell Chihuahua puppy, and her hair seems to be thinning on her chest, the top of her head and a modest bit around her eyes. The vet said it may possibly be a vitamin deficiency so we fed her puppy vitamins for a few weeks, which didn’t help. My protect says it may possibly be from everywhere she is on the rise speedily and her hair isn’t able to keep up and take in all of her. I’m at a loss.

Vet didn’t do a skin scrape for demodex. Most anyvet Ive ever met would do a skin scrape first affair when the hair is thinnning around the eyes.

It may possibly be a deficiancy, in that case, you need to give it more time, A LOT more time. It may possibly also be a health check or skin shape up. I would certainly take her to a further vet for a subsequent attitude. It isn’t from on the rise.

It’s not from on the rise.
–Check for stress
–Keep feeding her vitamins
–Is it too warm in the house?
Question your vet for some blood tests.

Have your vet check for a thyroid shape up but in such a young pup it seems unlikely but doable. There are thyroid tablets that can be chose to any dog with thyroid tribulations but once ongoing they must be chose for the life of the dog.
The tablets is very low-priced so it must not deter you, and the pups and the dogs live a very long and healthful life.

We had a daschound/weiner dog that did this. He ongoing loosing his hair as a puppy and when he got to a year ancient he lost very near all of his hair…He only had a set alight layer on the rest of his body…We took him to the vet to see what was ill-treat. It twisted out that he had a thyroid conundrum. So there was in fact no way to fix his hair loss come forth. We had to eventually give him away since he bit someone…But, he is subdue responsibility excellent. He has to have a doggie sweater on when he is outside when it’s cold.

may possibly be hypothyroidism. Is she intake lots but not quick any importance? That is a further clinical sign as well. (or it may possibly be intake modest and quick. One of the two.)

It’s liable the dry chill ride out that’s causing the hair loss.
If you are feeding a excellent feature dogfood, and the vet has ruled out mange, add some Omega 3 oils to her diet and help to get rid of some of the irony. Puppies do lose their coat, and get an adult coat, liable the irony and the coat exchange are experience at the same time.
