I am becoming concerned about my dog Jackie. She is beginning to get bald spots and loose hair near/under both her back legs. I first thought it was nothing to be worried about when it was small..but now the spot is getting bigger and there is another area or baldness under her stomach/belly area. Im wondering if I should get her checked out or if it is minor then I can treat it myself...? suggestions?

ALthough it may be a minor skin issue, it could also be ring worm (that causes baldness). It would be worth it to have the vet see it.

a million) Flea tub - get a stable flea shampoo out of your vet and bathe all your animals thoroughly. 2) Frontline Plus - stick to a month-to-month flea preventative collectively with Frontline Plus or earnings to all your animals each and every 4 weeks twelve months around.

It could be many things. Mange comes to mind. There are 2 types of mange, one of which is not contagious. The only way to tell is to have a vet do a skin scraping to see.
The other thing I think of is a thyroid condition. That can cause patches of baldness.
And then there's just allergies, ets. The only way to know for sure is to go to the vet and mention these things and have them ckeck it out.

Have her checked out since animals can have all kinds of skin issues. The most possible cause would be skin allergies caused by food, fleas, or dust. The dry winter air could also be irritating it. Your vet will be able to better determine to problem so you can get a quicker solution. Hope this helps!

Depending on how old Jackie is could help indicate whether you should be seeing a vet sooner rather than later.
If she is over 8 yrs of age you will also need to consider diseases such as
: Hyperadrenocorticism (cushings disease)
: Hypothyriodism (underactive thyriod)
Both of these diseases cause thinning and hair loss.
If Jackie is younger it could be
:Allergies
: Ring worm or other fungal/bacterial skin conditions
:Mites
:Fleas

Jackie needs to go to the vet.. It could be a skin irriatation or even an allergy...or it could be a thyroid issue, which Jackie would need a blood test, I would take your pup and have her checked out...better safe than sorry...

This could be minor and treatable or it could be an internal problem like a thyroid condition, so I would say bring her in to the vet. Without seeing the areas, that's about all anyone could say.

You need to take your doggy to the vet. This sounds like it could be a mite. It sounds like it's getting worse so....don't let it keep getting worse and irritating your poor friend. Also sometimes worms can steal nutrition from your pet and they don't get what they need to stay healthy. If you were losing your hair, you would go to the doc right away. So, your family member needs to see her vet.
