This past summer Tucker did this same thing ... he was nearly bald on his sides and tail and he looked like he had a poodle cut on his legs. I re-treated him for fleas and soon the cooler weather came and his hair grew back. I was relieved and though it was "over". Well, he is doing "whatever" again and now he has a rash on his legs from it. Does anyone have any ideas about what this is? Does it look familiar? I don't generally flea treat during the winter months ... but I can if I need to. Of course, I don't ever see him scratching though .... like he has any fleas?

He is losing some of his hair on his body again, but his legs are the worst this time.










I have also thought about the strong possiblity of it being stress related over-grooming... because he does groom incessantly!!! Do you think eventually by licking his legs too long, he could be causing the sore spots?
