alopecia

So Mack had TPLO surgery back in January and he is doing great but the patch of hair they shaved on his back is not growing back. He does have Alopecia from time to time where his hair does thin out but this patch has no new hair growth. I am looking for any type of suggestions and I can take a...

Hi Guys... Happy Thursday! As a few of you may know, we just welcomed Cooper (8 weeks) to our clan this week. WE LOVE HIM!! My 4 year old Gunner... not so much, but that is a different story for a different day. Cooper's breeder feeds all of her dogs and puppies raw. She has her own raw dog...

Hi Everyone. I took my 5 year old EB girl Rosie to an orthopedic specialist today and he said her ACL is ruptured in her left back leg and needs surgery. I am terrified of losing her in surgery, have heard of too many bulldogs not making it through. I asked him about a brace and he said that I...

Sorry a little late, but work has been busier than I can ever rememebre. The boys are still doing great... annual wellness check went great! Our vet is thrilled that we switched to raw and said he can see the benefits.. We are fully on duck at this time, but thinking about trying the rabbit...

Some dogs come to us with the saddest stories. This is not one of those. Baby is six years old and has lived and was loved by with the same family since she was two months old. But a lot of changes have taken place in the family these past six years. They now find themselves in a position where...

As many of you know, Monty had a deep infection near his tail that involved surgeries and of course, the hair being shaved in the area. It always took a long time to grow back, months. We are going through it again but this time his skin is different. Half of the area has grown in but the...

The boys continue to do very well! We are off of the mackerel and on beef . Mackerel did not agree with them, Lambeau's ears became dirty and Cheli was chewing and licking his paws. We are only three days in on the beef so it will be a few days before I see any type of positive of negative...

Hello, I am new to this website, I found the site because I was searching for information on EBD skin problems. My EBD, Bella has had problems since I picked her up at 8 weeks old almost 9 years ago but regardless we love her. In early fall I noticed a few spots on her back which likely were hot...

My Bulldog, Smalls, had developed what I thought was Alopecia about 9 months ago and the hair has grown back on the one side but the other side hasn't. About 2 weeks ago I noticed this raised knot on the area where the Alopecia is and didn't think much of it and then yesterday he developed a...

I had hoped we weren't going to have this issue.... but it's been a long sleepless weekend. Effie has started having head tremors. I'm really shocked, because she's going to be 3 next January, and I really thought if she was going to have them, we would have seen them by now! My husband was...

My wonderful vet is NOW fully operating, so she came by today to do the annuals on the pups and take Wallygator's blood again... Walter's potassium, thyroid and electrolyte levels were perfect!!! SO now we are attributing his flank hair loss to seasonal alopecia, which I'm NOT going to treat...

Hello, Our baby Buster has been shedding for about 6 months now. We have him on Vet3 caps similar to fish oil, but it doesn't seem to be helping his coat. In fact, recently he's developed scabs on the bald spots in his body. I've read that perhaps Melatonin might help out. Has anyone had his...

Hello All, I noticed a few weeks ago that Petey had a few spots of hair gone on his back, but didn't think about it because he rolls around a lot in the backyard, but today I gave him a bath and noticed that the hair was thinning quite bad on his back and the small spots were getting bigger...

I just gave the pups a good brushing, and Lily had told me the other day that Wally had some thin spots. His entire one side is almost bald, and I guess we didn't notice it because his skin is dark and it looked like his fur. When he was out in the sun you can really see the bald areas...

They say that once in a lifetime, every dog owner gets to live with, be with, love with their dog soulmate. Sherman was my dog soulmate. We lost him to cancer and Cushings disease this past October...his passing was devastating to us, although at 10, and with his illness, we knew our time...

My english bulldog keeps on gagging and making chocking noises as if he were about to throw up for a couple of months. He had two seizures two or three months ago, and we took him to the vet, but he hasn't had any, as far as i know, since then. He's also developed this weird balding that is very...

So Penny has been on Blue Buffalo wilderness Salmon since we rescued her but with her seasonal flank alopecia we talked to the general vet about possible food allergies and she put her on the Hills Z/D for skin issues as a food trial. We have seen no change in the 8 weeks she has been on it, but...

I would like to know how many bulldogs in this community have Alopecia X. How many of the bulldogs that are positive to Alopecia X had mothers or fathers that were brindle, and if the sibling you possess with Alopecia X has a different color coat?

I notice my dogs hair thinning in April of 2015. Went totally bald by July in both spot on both flanks. Still waiting for it togrow back. On one of the spots the black color is beginning to turn greyish in the middle and appears to be drying out. Is there an ointment or lotion for this...

Hi there. I adopted my first bulldog, Sarge on Saturday. He was chained up in someone's backyard for 4 years before I came along and after an hour of begging and $50 they let me take him home. He has yeast infections in his paws, wrinkles and up his legs, he has double ear infections, his...

Hi I am new here -4 years ago we got our first Bullie from a rescue. No one could age her as she had worn her teeth down to nubs but the best guess was she was 3 or 4 at the time. So now 7 or 8. She has been such an amazing addition to our family. Behavior wise a super star and health wise so...

Greetings to all. I have a medical issue to run by the group. Maggie, my four-year-old English, had surgery on her leg five weeks ago. For the surgery, she was shaved from flank to foot. Now, as you can see from the pic, the hair on her leg is growing back nicely, but the hair on her hip...

Today is a bit of a scary day. My daughter who has alopecia decided not to wear her wig to school today. While I am proud of her decision I am still nervous about how the new incoming freshman that don't know my daughter will react. She has always been a strong young lady and really doesn't...

Hi everyone I would love your advice. My bitch was born with a bold patch on her side which the vet was never worried about. Later on I bread her and she took but reabsorbed, then she started to get bold patches a couple of months later . The vet said it was hormonal. All the hair has grown...

My Ella has flank alopecia and it's spreading upwards toward her spine. The skin on her flanks was black, but is now starting to lighten up. In some areas it looks like pink skin showing through. Has anyone who's bully had alopecia skin turn more pink, then have the hair grow back? I'm thinking...

I am wondering how many other Bully parents have dealt with alopecia. I know it's pretty commom in this breed and I have heard different ideas or ways of treatment. My Dozer is missing hair on both sides. We did take him to the vet and are trying things her way, first, but just curious who else...
