My 2-month-old puppy is losing fur behind his ears. What's the cause?

Puppies are at risk for mites like demodex, ring worm, bacterial infections. I would recommend an exam with your vet and a skin scrape to look for mites. Some mites are contagious to people like sarcoptic mange. Some mites are not. Hope that helps

This looks highly suspicious for a demodex mite (non-contagious) problem. A simple skin test through your vet can conrim this. If mites are not the cause, then a skin allergy is at play here. These are both treatable with medications. I hope that things work out for your pet Kendra and that her skin issue resolves soon! Best of luck and take care.

I am sorry to hear about your puppy. Many different things can cause hair loss, also known as alopecia, in dogs. Parasites of the skin such as mange mites and fleas can cause this. Bacterial or yeast infections of the skin can also be a cause, as well as some genetic disorders. I would recommend an examination at a veterinarian to determine the cause of the hairloss which will help guide treatment recommendations, which may include medication to treat for mange, antibiotics or medicated shampoos.

This is most commonly a sign of mange in a puppy this age. Many times, this actually resolves on its own, but sometimes treatment is needed to keep it from getting worse. I recommend taking Taiko to the vet sometime in the next day or two. They will be able to examine her and provide treatment if necessary. I hope that helps and Taiko gets better soon.

It is not normal for a pet to have bald spots, but it is normal for a pet to shed. If Cookie has bald spots, then the top causes for this are: Flea allergies or Demodexx mites. It is best to have him examined by your vet to determine which is the cause and to start treatment. I hope that Cookie's hair issues resolve soon! Best wishes and take care.

It's likely that Maddie is suffering from a form of mange called demodectic mange. This is common in puppies and often goes away as they get older. It's also possible that this is due to a skin infection. In order to narrow-down the cause of this a vet doctor would have to inspect the skin and do some testing. They will also be able to provide treatment for this. Below is a link to an article that explains this condition more and gives some good advice. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/mange-demodectic-in-dogs I hope that helps and Maddie gets better soon.

If Louie has a dilute coat color (blue) then it could be normal for him - some dogs with dilute coats will lose hair on their ears, head and back. If the skin seems red or if there are small scabs or a rash then allergies or external parasites could also be possible. I'd recommend having your vet examine him to make sure there is no evidence of dermatologic disease.
