my dog is starting to get bald patches-what would cause that? he is only 4 months old?

My g/f just got a puppy. And it was getting bald patches to. She brought it to the vet to check it for mange. The vet said it could be mange or allergies. She didn't go any farther with testings. She just gave it away b/c she wanted to use it for breeding and mange and allergies can be passed on to the puppies. The new owners with have her spayed and have further testing done.

This could be caused by Flies or to much protein as in meat or lots of other things.Suggest you take the dog to a vet for to get a proper evaluation

There could be many causes, so I would take him to the vet. You might need a medicated shampoo to bath him with

Ur dog may be infected and need medical assistance for this may be any type bring him/her to the vet

Ask the Vet, but in the meantime, make sure you are giving him a really good quality food; perhaps it is nutrition related.

That could be the sign of mange which is a disease that is serious.. You should have the vets check that out.

mange, food, allergies, mites or other underlying causes...but DO NOT kick the dog when it starts scratching or biting

mites a very ichy dog pest much like a flee but not.......my dog had puppies once and some of them had mites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
