Question by Liberty: My dog is losing his hair, could I get some help?
I don’t think it’s mange, because mange is contagious, and my other animals haven’t caught it.
He bites at his skin, so I’m thinking it’s allergies. To fleas, or grass, or anything, I don’t know.
I thought I should try and get an answer from some of you before trying to see a vet.
Like a lot of Americans, I don’t have the money to see a vet, I’m only 17.
Thanks in advance, for your help…

Answer by shonoel You have a computer and in all probability a cell phone.
Sell one or both of these and go to the vet.
Your parents would probably take you to the doctor if you needed one, even if it did mean they had to cut back on the luxuries to help you.
You owe it to your dog.
Question by Chrissy: Dog allergies and Hair loss?
My Pekingese/Japanese Chin(10 years old) is losing hair on his chest and neck area. He is seeing the vet. They gave him an Allergy short and antibiotics.They did Blood work,X-rays, and a UTI test(to make sure he didn’t have cancer). They told me to keep combing him and make sure to use a fine tooth comb to remove dead hair. But hes just looking worse.He has less fur due to me combing him. His Right side Chest area has a large bald spot that travels around to his right shoulder & neck and you can clearly see his skin,when you push the fur away.It isn’t bloody or pink/raw. It looks like i shaved him in a few spots.He had one similar near his back leg, but now it looks fine, the hair has grown back and it looks perfectly fine.Should i just keep doing what they are saying or go to another vet for a second option..
Does anyone else have this problem? or has had this problem and found a Solution?
Side Note:Hes on flea meds,allergly meds and antibiotics

Answer by zipperdually Your vets are probably trying the best they can, however, sometimes problems aren’t that easy to detect. If you really feel that they could do better, then maybe you could try seeing another vet for a second opinion. Try asking for a new diet- if this is due to allergies a new diet could help. I recommend science diet Z/D. Keep doing what your vets tell you, and hopefully your dog will get better in time.
My three year old long hair chihuahua that I got from a shelter in August has been having somewhat watery feces, he also has been refusing to eat dog food unless I hand feed him. One other problem is that he has watery eyes, which his vet said were just allergies, but with there being no pollen in the air and his medication not really working unless I give him the maximum dose I don’t think it’s an outdoor allergy. We got him food without rice to see if that was what he was allergic to, but that was not it. He is also up to date on shots, and was dewormed before we got him. He came from California, and now lives in Utah. What could be wrong with him?
Please only answer if you know what you are talking about, and be nice.
