Hi! I have observed a patch (loss of hair) right above one of the eye of my 5 month old female labrador. What could be the underlying reason and how can we treat her?

My female Persian kitten(50 days old) is shedding a lot of hair suddenly, after her first deworming, is it something to be concerned about?(not sure if this happened due to deworming) She is perfectly normal, she eats well, her digestion is good and she is very active

Hi Chaitra! If there is no bald patches due to to the hairloss and as you are saying she is otherwise normal, it can be due to the seasonal changes. As cats tend to shed more during summer. But if it continues and gets bald patches or rashes in the body you can schedule a vet visit.

And do check for any flea or ticks that can also cause hairfall. In that case spot on medication can be used but she have to be 2 month or above for using that.

Thanks doc! I did schedule a vet visit from Kuddle and found out she has a deficiency and hence the hair loss. We are giving her supplements now

Theo is a super cute and friendly Labrador. He is healthy, a big foodie, is vaccinated, good with humans, kids and other dogs. He is a bit hyperactive and requires physical activities like playing and running regularly. He needs a family that understands his needs. I’m putting him up for adoption as I’m moving abroad and there’s no one to take care of him :(
