bald patch on pug? please help?

do a little seaching on the net about ringworm...mange would most likely be in more spot than just one...hot spot maybe...my pit had issues with spots here and there and went to vet, checked out fine and we started using fish oil pills and he hasnt had any skin problems since.

I would get it checked out by the vet but it is a common characteristic of pugs to drag themselves along the floor especially when they are excited, this friction can cause the hair underneath to thin. My pug does not have so much hair on his underside due to this.

At a guess? I'd say demodectic mange. But that's just a guess, you're going to want to get a vet to confirm so that you can begin a proper treatment (as you've seen there are many things it could be --- best to find out what it really is, so you can treat the right thing).

mine has never had it?

best thing you can do is keep a close eye on him and the bald patch. if you have any worries etc the only thing to do is go to the vets.

:D hope he gets better soon

It could be ringworm - which is a fungal infection and easy to treat.

Or, it could be mange - mites, can be very hard to treat.

Or, it could be a hot spot.

Or...

Actually, maybe a vet should see the problem. It will probably be fine, though.

i think all puppies go thru ugly stages

mi dogs nd there 6 puppies did but mine arent pugs

Hey there,

There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall and you need to find out which one exactly is responsible for the problem you are having now. Of course male pattern baldness is still the most common cause, but, for instance, if you are a woman things are deinitely different! This is the reason why you will need to really dig down and see the source of your problem.

Other causes of hair loss may include (both in men and women): severe mental or emotional stress, excessive use of coloring or bleaching agents, traction alopecia or excessive strain on the scalp due to braiding or corn rowing, hormonal changes, alopecia areata or hair loss due to autoimmune diseases, and many more. Each of these conditions will require a different approach in order to achieve success regardless of whether you're going to be using conventional or natural methods.

In my opinion it's much better to use natural methods as opposed to conventional ones, they're cheaper, have less to no side effects, and often more effective.

A good way of regaining your full head of healthy natural hair is well described on this guide: http://hairagain.toptips.org/

Cheers.
