What are Hair Loss?
Partial or complete alopecia (or hair loss) is a relatively common problem seen in dogs, and can be due to a variety of conditions including skin infections, allergies, and endocrine disorders. Dogs of any age or breed can experience hair loss. The underlying cause can range from mild to serious in severity, so it is important to report hair loss to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
Symptoms of Hair Loss in Dogs
Dog hair loss is typically an obvious condition and can occur at any age, in any breed, and anywhere on the body. A variety of patterns and symptoms may develop depending on the underlying cause:
Overall thinning of the hair
Hair loss around eyes and mouth
Patches of complete hair loss
Symmetrical patterns of hair loss in the same place on both sides of the body
Foul odor
Itchiness
Black or dark grey skin under hair loss
Dry, scaly skin around area of hair loss
Red, inflamed skin around area of hair loss
Oozing moisture or bleeding around area of hair loss (typically a secondary condition)
Causes of Hair Loss in Dogs
Some possible causes for dog hair loss include:
Pressure sores
Friction (from a collar, for example)
Nervous chewing or licking
Trauma and/or scarring
Post-surgical clipping
Infection (bacterial, yeast or fungal)
Ringworm (fungal infection)
Allergies (fleas, food, environmental, contact)
Mites (Mange)
Abnormality in growth of the hair shaft
Thyroid disorder
Cushing’s disease
Sex hormone imbalance
Chemotherapy
Skin cancer
Genetics (certain breeds can develop hair loss in adulthood on ears, chest, thighs, or in certain pigmented parts of the body)
Treatment of Hair Loss in Dogs
Depending on the diagnosis, a variety of treatments are available for dog hair loss.
Antibiotics (oral or topical) will treat bacterial infections.
Antifungals (oral or topical) can treat yeast and ringworm infections.
Steroids may be required to treat certain skin conditions.
Immunosuppressive Drugs or Anti-cytokine Drugs may be needed for environmental allergy (Atopy) control. Often life long treatment is needed.
Immunotherapy may be needed orally or by injection for allergy desensitization.
Behavioral medications can treat nervous chewing or licking.
Medicated shampoos or dips can treat cases of mange.
Hypoallergenic diets will often solve hair loss due to food allergies. Allergies to foods take some time to define. The veterinarian will recommend a prescription or over the counter hypoallergenic diet and explain the proper method of transitioning to the new diet.
Monthly flea preventative can clear up hair loss associated with flea allergies
Thyroid medication and hormone therapy can reverse hair loss in hormonal and endocrine disorders.
Vitamin E, Vitamin A and fish oil supplements may be recommended for pets with certain conditions or a predisposition to dry skin or skin infections.
An Elizabethan collar (e-collar or cone) may be required to prevent your pet from licking at or itching the affected site until healed.
Surgery may be required to remove sections of skin cancer or tumors. Neutering or spaying your pet may be required for sex-hormone disorders.
