Hey there, I am really worried about my 9 year old cavaliers tail and tummy which are bald 0_0.
Kaytee has had a bald tummy since I got her in 2003 the vets have noticed it but never been able to tell me what It could be, Her tail started to go bald in 2004 just the top of it, vets did a thyroid test and couldn't seem to work out what had caused it, Now in 2009 almost ALL of her tail is bald, She has a heart murmur and IBD she also has dry eye and syringomyelia, I cant think that this could be linked to any of these?
The tail doesn't seem to bother her and I think the vets think if that's the case then leave it be. She has had many blood tests to see how she is doing on her pills and nothing has come up to explain the baldness.
I live in a one bedroom flat and we have a shared garden and one day I suddenly wondered could it maybe not be health related could it be that though kaytee has toilet trips and walks she is not having enough time in the natural light? I am moving soon and we will have a garden but this is really worrying me and I wondered if you had ever had this same thing with any of your babies?
Below are some photos of her tail and tummy sorry its not too clear
