Hair Loss

todd pavlus · 10-05-2008, 07:21 PM

One of my dogs has had some hair loss due to scratching on his ear. This started in late summer, I figured from bug bites. Then he started to lose some hair on the tip of his tail. I thought it might be mites. I took him to the vet, and they took a scraping, and they said it was not mites. Gave him pills for the itching and antibiotics because they thought he might have a small infection due to all the scratching. Now it has been 3 weeks and he is still losing more hair on his ear. Now my pup has started sratching his ear. Anyone got any ideas what this is. I don't want to take him back to the vet yet, since they really did not know what it was in the first place.
