Why is my bulldog losing hair on his back, not itching, and healing?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to allergies. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing his allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. A secondary infection is likely and also needs to be addressed. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market). If not improved in 1-3 months then it is time to move on and check for food allergies by switching to a novel diet (new protein and new carbohydrate). If that does not seem to be the issue then you are left out having to check for environmental allergies which require blood and/or skin tests. Allergies can be very frustrating to deal with at first but so rewarding at the end when we are able to treat them effectively!

Those spots on Jax could be several things including allergies, skin mites, flea bites, ringworm (which humans can get) or a bacterial infection. You can try adding in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs, this can help improve the skin health. You may also try changing his diet to something like Royal Canin or Nutro as they are aimed at skin health. You can wash the lesions with soap once a day and rinse well (don't wash his whole body, just those spots). Protect the areas from licking or scratching and he may need to wear an Elizabethan collar at all times. If the lesions don't start looking better within about a week or if they get worse, have him examined by the veterinarian who may prescribe medications. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Those spots on Tank could be several things including allergies, skin mites, flea bites, ringworm (which humans can get), endocrine disease or a bacterial infection. You can try adding in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs, this can help improve the skin health. You may also try changing his diet to something like Royal Canin or Nutro as they are aimed at skin health. You can wash the lesions with a medicated dog shampoo every other day and rinse well. Protect the areas from licking or scratching. If they don't start looking better within about a week or if they get worse, have him examined by his veterinarian who may prescribe medications or diagnostics. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Mr. Brown may be having the skin issues due to ringworm, skin mites or allergies. Allergy testing can be complicated and expensive, ruling out food allergies is certainly easier by using a hydrolyzed diet. Diagnosing ringworm and skin mites is very easy. I recommend to have him examined by his veterinarian and at least rule out the easy things that may spread to the other dogs. At least then you can start treatment and decontamination if needed. Things you can do to improve skin health in general include changing the diet to something that is aimed at tskin health such as Nutro or Royal Canin. Giving him an additional omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs will also help but may not fix the situation. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

She could have a skin infection so you could bathe her with a medicated dog shampoo and see if that helps. If the problem continues than she should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and best way to treat her problem. She may need an antibiotic, antihistamine, and/or a corticosteroid to help.
