if it continues take him to a vet, he could be having problems with his thyroid



My dog is losing his hair?

Take your dog in to get a blood panel done. My golden retriver began losing his fur on the back of his neck. We found out it was hypothyroidism - his thyroid wasn't producing enough of the hormone. So they put him on Levothyroxine (super inexpensive little blue pills) he had one with breakfast and one with dinner and after one week his fur was growing back and he was a completely different dog. He seemed so happy, super energetic - we'd never seen him run so fast for a ball, much more coordinated and mentally alert. We were so glad we were able to get the medicine to pull him out of the funk. He was on those little pills for the rest of his life, but he unfortunately passed away of lymphoma last November.



Definitely get your doggy checked out. I hope everything goes well.

Check his thyroid



Make sure his dog food does not have corn or soy - some dog foods change ingrediants and it is possible that something in the food is causing a reaction



Check for fleas
