I had a German Shepherd with this problem when I was a kid and it was a flea
allergy. It only took one flea and he would lose his hair on his back near
his tail and the back of his upper legs.
Is he on Frontline or some other product?
I also know dogs who are sensitive to those products as well.
Just a thought,
Cyndy Davis

If this was my dog I would give her a really good bath with a hypoallergenic
or puppy shampoo, rinse well, condition her coat, rinse well  again, dry
completely, make sure her bedding is clean and watch for signs of
improvement.  Eliminate the most common concerns before approaching the
vet. 
 
And rinse well means the water comes down clean with no product residue.  
Time consuming when you are bathing a Collie or a Chow, but still a must
do. 
  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the re-circulating systems.
 
I had a client whose dog got a bold spot, we couldn't explain why, then it
dawned on me, I asked him if the dog was close to the heater, sure enough,
dog  loves to sleep close to the heater in the winter. Mystery solved.
 
I dont think anyone is using a heater these last few weeks <G>, but  you get
the idea.

Hi. I  have a question. My son's dog is losing her hair above the tail and
some  on her back leg. She is a house dog and he says he has never seen her
bite  at herself...skin underneath is smooth, no sore or breaks in the
skin.  She has no fleas. She was trimmed for summer and had a bath at  the
groomers. (almost 3 months ago).  I couldn't come up with any  real answer
for him, except to give her a bath using medicated dog shampoo  and to make
sure she is rinsed thoroughly.  Make the groomer didn't  get Shema rise good
enough?

Any suggestions would be very  helpful.

Thanks,

Betsy
