Have you wondered whether your dog’s hair loss is normal or not? What could be causing your dog’s excessive shedding?
All dogs shed hair, that’s a fact. But excessive hair loss to the point of bald patches isn’t normal. Neither is pink, irritated skin. Or obsessive licking. Unfortunately many owners ignore these symptoms. Here is some advice on what might be causing the issue and when you should take your dog to a vet.
Food-related allergy
Fleas, lice or mites
A medical condition, such as kidney, liver, thyroid, or adrenal disease.
Fungal or bacterial infections
Immune disease
Cancer
Obsessive licking
Talk to your vet if any of these symptoms persist for more than a week:
Bald spots or thinning of coat
Skin irritation
Open sores
Dull, dry hair that pulls out easily
Incessant scratching
Continuous foot licking and face rubbing
