my dog has a big patch of hair missing on her thigh, looks like she has pulled the hair out, its very red, could it be frostbite? or a skin infection?

i think it may be an infection. it might have been bothering her so much, that she kept messing in that area, maybe scratching ir biting that area. in result her hair may have been pulled off from her messing about. from the irritation the area is red. i recommend taking her to a vet ASAP to know for sure and to get treatment. best of luck with this, :)

Kinda sounds like a hot spot without knowing anything else. Gotta take her to the vet to have it cleaned and treated. Frostbite is generally in the extremities (tips of the ears, toes, etc)

The best person to ask is your vet. Since it is late (depending on where you live and the hours of your vet), you should try contacting your vet in the morning. They will be able to address any concerns and questions regarding this.

Most likely they will ask you to bring your dog in for an exam. They will then follow the necessary steps and procedures to determine what this is.

Otherwise poking and guessing at your dog's health is dangerous. Good Luck.

Most likely it is an allergy or skin disorder. If it were frostbite it wouldnt be and a random place on her thigh. She might have fleas

you won't know until you take her to the vet. but if you think it's frostbite, take a look at her living conditions, and change what needs to be changed or bring her inside. but only a vet will be able to tell you what is the problem. good luck.
