Understanding Skin Conditions and Hair Loss in Pets
Overview of Skin Conditions
Skin conditions are prevalent among pets and can manifest in various ways:
- Commonality: Skin issues are frequently encountered by general practitioner vets.
- Diverse Causes: Skin conditions may vary in itchiness and lead to hair loss.
Major Causes of Hair Loss
Several factors contribute to hair loss in pets, including:
- Allergies: Allergic reactions often result in self-excoriation, leading to hair loss and redness.
- Parasitic Infestations: Itchy parasites can prompt scratching and chewing, causing hair loss.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like Cushing's disease and hypothyroidism may lead to hair loss without itchiness.
- Seasonal Flank Alopecia: This unexplained phenomenon primarily affects female dogs, resulting in cyclic hair loss along the flanks.
- Skin Infections: Infections can impair skin health, leading to hair loss, often accompanied by itchiness.
