Help! Why why won't my dog stop losing his hair?

I took him to the vet, and he was tested for everything. It's not mange or any disease or anything, the vet says he's just got allergies and he'll be fine, but his poor little tushie is BALD! I hear that small breeds (he's a boston terrier mix) and inside dogs are more prone to skin problems, but there must be something i can do to keep him from going totally bald

This can also be cause by vaccines. See link for Wisconsin University. When it comes to Benedrly, don't take previous advice. It needs to be given by weight. Pet med list and dosage link is also below.

I think your pup is simply going through malting. If you let him be, I'm sure he'll be back to his old furry, lovable self.

If its allergies, try a different type

of food, it could be something in the

food he eats. Dogs benefit from eating

omega 3's too. Try giving your dog some

fish oil, I drain the oil or water from

tuna and or salmon, and give it to my

pet once in a while this helps the fur

and checking with the pet store on

other products you can use for aiding

hair loss. Good luck.

If it is allergies did your vet give you any suggestions? If not this what my vet told me. He said I could give my dog a half of a children's Benadryl once a day. I wrap it in a peace of cheese and give it to her that way. She takes quite well She thinks she is getting a treat. Another thing you might consider is the type of dog food you are feeding your dog. If you feed your dog a dog food from a grocer store stop go to a pet store and try Natural Choice. It is a great dog food and does help your dogs skin and coat. I hope this will help you. Oh one more thing if you are going to change your dogs dog food do it very slowly by mixing the old with the new gradually. You can ask a sales person at a pet store or a pet trainer how to do this. let me know if this helps you out.

There is some extensive testing that can be done to find out what the dog is allergic to. Talk to your vet about this, or try getting a second opinion

If you change his dog food:

Remember to stick only a little bit of the new kinda dog food in with his reg dog food! Every day put a tiny bit more of the new kind so your dog doesn't get sick from the diet change.

If you want you can feed him a hard-boiled egg, he'll probably eat it, eggs are good for hair (i forget why).

I hope you find out what his allergic to, allergy medicines work better at preventing an allergy, than stopping an allergic reaction already in progress.

Did they do a thyroid test? Thyroid disease is often responsible for hair loss in dogs. Also, even one flea bite can cause irritation and loss of hair if the dog is allergic to the flea saliva. I would use a good flea preventative like Advantage and closely read the instructions. The other thing that could definitely be responsible for hair loss is an allergy to the diet that you've been feeding. You may want to do an elimination diet where you start with a diet that consists of one thing (like maybe duck) that the dog has never had before. Ask your vet for specific instructions on how to do the elimination diet or join us here for instructions http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ToyDogLove...
