Chris B Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Zoe is now 8 months old. About 2 weeks ago she started to get patchy hair spots on the back of her legs (see photos). I'm not sure if it's getting any bigger, but we're still worried. We've got her booked into the vets in a few days. Hopefully it's just a coat change thing, but if anyone has seen this before, I'd appreciate some feedback And just to show that she is still cute...

fooshuman Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Looks like she is shedding the old stuff to me. Foo used to get that around the spring. I think it is the winter coat making way for the summer coat. As long as the skin isn't showing any signs of ouchies or yuckies, I wouldn't stress to much about it. Still would goto the vet tho, just to make sure! (My vet says i'm a mother hen, that's pretty bad since i'm 6' 3" 250 lbs. and a man!!) " :eek: Oh your dogs are cute!

Leigha Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 That was my first thought. A good grooming session, bath and another grooming session should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat's Dogs Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 VERY cute!! (the last photo ) My first thought was also shedding. A lot of times that will make the dog's fur all chunky like that and even a brown/gray-ish color. BUT, if the hair can not be pulled out (with a brush) and it doesn't go away with a bath and some time, I would still go to the vet. It just looks like such a defined brown spot....
