I have an amstaff terrier who is losing all her hair. Any tips on what could be causing it or how to treat?

Question

She has been to a vet and tested for parasites and thyroid. They also ruled out allergies and mange as she is not itchy. Their best guess is she has recurrent flank alepicia (sp?).

Answer 1

It is probably so, very common in racing greyhounds
some are seasonly where they fill in a bit in winter and lose in the summer, I had one with permanent hairloss on her flanks, she was hypothyroid, though with meds her hair never came back in, my current 2 thin out every summer, their thyroid levels are fine

There is one article from a whippet owner who claimed to get some hair to go grow in
