Hi! A few days back I observed a small bald patch above one eye of my female lab and got her vet consulted. The vet overruled bacterial, fungal or any other infection. But I did observe another one today on one of her arm. This one is small too with no redness. She had itching issues but after the medicine prescribed by the vet it's better now. Any suggestions on what could be the underlying reason for bald patches would be relieving.

No. That's the only medicine prescribed. We use the shampoo 'Himalya, ERINA -EP tick and flea management ' for bathing her.

Wherever these patches are there try to remove the hair for 1 cm radius and apply povidone iodine solution twice daily and also use mycosan shampoo to bathe her Keep the shampoo for 10 min and then wash

Okay. Will follow this. Is it a concerning condition or is it because of self scratching?

I feel it can be because of self scratching as ur vet already ruled it out for bacterial and fungal infection What about demodicosis Did he rule out that too??

0

S

Swati Singh

Nothing was mentioned about demodicosis.

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

As the hair loss is near the eye and other parts of body it can be because of demodicosis also

How can we treat that?

Kuddle

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

First we have to diagnose is it because of demodicosis or not then only we can start treating it for that To rule out demodicosis skin scrapping examination has to be done

Okay. Should we go ahead with this examination if any new bald patch is observed?

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
