Lady recently developed a little round bald spot about the size of a dime on her head between her ear and eye. I took her to the vet and they said it was Demodex Mites! She explained that we (dogs included) have microscopic mites on us at all times and certain things, like a weakened immune system can cause an 'outbreak'. For Lady, that 'certain thing' she thinks, was going into heat. Makes me more sad that we missed her spay by only 4 days! :-(
Any how, Lady now has an even bigger bald spot as they had to shave the area to do a skin scraping to confirm. Poor girl...she gets ointment twice a day. The vet said it could take 2 to 3 months for her hair to grow back. Has anyone else had any experience with this
