Hi! Maggie has been shedding a lot lately and scratching herself more than usual. This morning I could see two small bald patches. One on her hindlimb which has slight redness to it and another on her neck. She has a history of demodicosis. What could be the reason for this? Pic 1&2: Hindlimb. Pic 3: Front of the neck.

Hi Swathi. I would suggest you to comb her regularly and include Omega fatty acids in the form of supplements to control shedding. Itching with bald patches isn't normal. Such patches could also be due to dandruff or scales. Even though it doesn't look like demodicosis, it's required to rule it from fungal infection/ other causes, with the help of cytology or skin scraping.
