Hmmm, only got her on gain 20 and a lb of meat a day. So don't think it would be that Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 It could be an allergy of some sort.. you will only find out what it really is if you have a decent vet.. Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have seen such a thing several time's a change in diet can solve the problem if it's diet related..but if it's a allergy a vet will have to do a little test to find out what he/she is allergic too.. i have seen a terrier that lived on a farm with bald patches that would pop up during the warmer monthes... and believe it or not she was allergic to wheat mite.. not good when you live on a farm..

beast 1,884 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 mostly allergic reactions arent so restricted to one place, and there would usually be some redness, itching or flaky skin. looks like the hair has been plucked or pulled out, and the red dots are where the hairs have come out? hard to say from a photo!
