Boxer with hair loss?

she could have ticks or mites or a parasite.Take her to the vet and get a skin scrape. I am talking about demodex mite which attack the ears and become very itchy, and make the anemic.I suggest that the vet takes a blood sample and check that she is not anemic.

Boxers can be known to have skin disorders. I'd join a boxer group of people and see what they think, or switch vets.

A friend of mine has a Boxer with this same ailment. He tells me that it a skin rash/allergy. He uses special food and shampoo's as well as a medication from the vet.



He also says not to leave your Boxer out in the sun for too long, as it to get worse.

I have a female 3 year old boxer- same problem. I have gone through thousands. She is allergic to freaking dust mites; which are everywhere in las vegas. We put in wood floors and bought air purifiers and she is on prednosone occasionally to control her itchyness. We tried allergy injections for a year with no luck. Your best bet is to find out what she is allergic to (ask ur vet to do a blood test) then go from there; it might just be her food.
