The dog's hair fell out. Is it dangerous to her life? The question is rhetorical. In some cases, “no,” and in some, even as “yes.” Let's look at the main causes and methods of dealing with this.
Why does the dog have hair? Hair loss, in the common folk molt, is a natural regularity. It doesn’t matter in humans or in puppies. Hair grows, dies, and then falls out. In its place, a new one will grow (at least it should be in the ideal version). Hair condition is a great way to evaluate your health.
Why, if the dog has fallen out, should I contact a specialist? The reason is commonplace. Baldness is nothing but an indicator of problems with the dog’s body. One of the reasons lies in the diet. This can be either a banal allergy or an unbalanced diet, leading to vitamin deficiency. It’s unlikely that it will be possible to draw conclusions “by eye,” it will be necessary to conduct a survey and pass a number of tests.
An equally common reason why an animal loses its coat is skin pathology. Different kinds of dermatoses, dermatitis, demodicoses are inherently a lesion of the skin with parasites or fungi. Determine the reason why the dog fell out, and a specialist can prescribe treatment based on the results of the examination.
Do not neglect the banal predisposition transmitted at the gene level. It’s difficult to fight it, but you can still. With the help of the latest technologies in veterinary medicine, innovative therapeutic feeds of the holistic class, much is possible. True, we will have to work hard, but we are responsible for those who have tamed. As a result, they must make every effort.
Another point to talk about in this context is fleas. Paradoxical as it may seem, these insects may well become the reason why the dog's hair fell out. Baldness most often forms at the base of the tail, where “parasitic bloodsuckers” especially like to settle. In addition, the hair on the entire body of the animal becomes faded, brittle.
In this particular case, you can cope with the problem yourself. To do this, you will need to treat with a special tool not only the animal itself, but also its litter, kennel or apartment in which the pet lives. Drops on the withers and sprays are ideally recommended. For the best effect, experts advise to process everything and everyone gradually, in several stages. Wash first, spray several days later, and finally put on a special collar.
What to do if the dog has a lot of hair and the place of hair loss is combed? In this case, the skin requires local wound healing. Ideal for this are the preparations "Boseptin", "Stop-itch", "Terramycin", etc. The listed funds have a local healing effect, relieve itching and irritation. They are presented in the form of ointments and sprays. Although the manufacturer writes that the preparations do not cause allergic reactions, it is advisable to do a trial test in order to exclude any irritation on the damaged skin. It should also be remembered that any skin lesions, including baldness, require a long and painstaking recovery. Be patient.
