Puppy losing hair

[Dixieland Dancer]

Only one other suggestion to the others mentioned already.... make sure you have him rinsed very thoroughly aster his bath. Any soap residue can cause this kind of skin irritation also. I am a fanatic about rinsing thoroughly after bathing as it has caused problems for most of my dogs.

the dog may be allergic to the frontline. My neighbor's dog's hair fell out and she started scratching uncontrollably when they switched from frontline to frontline plus. Another possibility is all these chemicals the dog has received at once; like the vaccinations, flea repellants and skin meds. Chemicals tend to lower a dog's ability to fight things off themselves. Bathe the dog in a fragrance/soap free shampoo...something very basic, but be careful not to overbathe. Earthbath is a good one to use for things like this. Since it is very likely the food is the main source of the problem, switch to a natural diet with no corn/soy/colorings/etc.

We went back to the vet and he does have a type of mange. The vet dip him and we go back in a week for another dipping. The vet said this was common since he came from a shelter and that he probably had gotten it from his mother. He is doing better and thanks to all of you for your concern.
