This pic is of a 10 month old boxer female. The small hair loss spot that is below the collar is what the dog came in for.
Now as boxer parents are.... the owner saw this small hair loss spot, I was amazed that they even saw this, you actually had to pull the hair back to find it and it took us a few minutes to locate the spot once in the exam room.
They thought maybe the collar was rubbing the area. It looked like a sore with small hair loss, maybe a bug bite, possibly a tick had been there and fell off. I did a skin scrape and it was positive for demodex (red) mange.
This was the only spot on the dog at all!
I am posting this because there have been several post on hair loss and small spots. As a reminder to always have them checked.....
