What do i do if my dog is going bald? She sheds alot more than a normal dog, and she has a few bald

it can't be mange or the mange bugs because she has no bites or any indication of mange. she's just losing her hair. i've had her for 2 months and she shed in the beginning because she was so skinny like she was starving and malnourished. she's gained a little bit of weight and looks alot better now. but now she's going bald. i don't have the money for the vet and she is otherwise fine. i'm thinking maybe it could be the shampoo i'm using or just the fact that it's spring and she's shedding her winter coat. she has a bald spot on her neck and at the front of her ears the hair is thinning and she hasn't grown her hair back from when they shaved her belly 2 months ago when she got fixed. i'm thinking she has a hair growing problem. someone please give me some advice or help or ideas please. anything would be appreciated.

Are you feeding her a high quality of dog food? Also, it could be a thyroid problem.

If she was really sick when you got her, she could just be throwing her coat and growing in a new onethat is healthier. Your best bet is to see the vet, though.

natural shedding does NOT CAUSE BALDNESS..

your dog may have flea bite dermatitis, mange, bacterial skin infection, allergies

you NEED to see the vet for diagnosis..

you may want to feed her a high quality dry kibble,,

Advice? Take her to the vet.

No money for the vet? Then you shouldn't own a dog.

Funny how you can afford Urban Decay eyeliner but can't afford to care for your pet!

Rub a little bit of Vaseline into the bald spots - my vet recommended it for my little jack russell - i must say it does work - don't know how but it does! He said the breeders do it??? It takes a few weeks to have any effect but it works! Good luck.

There are a ton of causes of hair loss - all of them need to be diagnosed by a vet and none of them are caused by shampoo.

Some of them are cushing's syndrome, alopecia, hypothyroidism, estrogen excess, ringworm, seborrhea, dermatosis, and lots more.

She can't be diagosed or treated over the internet - she really needs to be seen by her vet.

Sounds like allergies. Dogs are usually allergic to foods they are fed. You may want to look at if you changed anything recently. Also don't overbathe that makes it worse. On a side note doggy cushings disease causes hair loss like you described, you should worm her first to rule out that but if it doesn't work you may have to break down and take her to the vet.

It would really be best for a professional to take a look to get a true idea. Although my parents had this problem with a dog they adopted from the pound. When she was taken to the vet it was suggested they give her fish oil pills. You can get them over the counter and she is taking three a day. Her coat is now doing much better and the dog kinda thinks of them as a treat? Hope that helps....

Mange may have no other indications other than hair loss and red skin. What breed is she? Shedding shouldnt cause bald spots, as they just lose the heavier outer layer of fur. Could be stress, or a medical problem, or the shampoo, or the food, or allergies to something in her environment, or you may be bathing her too often. You will need to take her to the vet to find out what it is, sorry, but you will need to.
