arcticgun 4,548 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 could be to much protien in its feed, one of mine suffers the same, also some just stressy types that can also cause it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jjbull 38 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 little spots sound like an allergy reaction but if its not bothering him just keep an eye on it. my mates dog used to go bald on his back legs mine goes thin on his chest think its more down to summer moulting, they dont have thick hair anyway and when it comes out it looks thin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AirgunGuy 362 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 My GSP bitch had something similar a while back though it didn't go completely bald. She had 2 patches of thinning hair about 3 inches in diameter. It didn't bother her at all and there was no redness or signs of irritation. It's gone now thankfully.
