My Boxer is 15 weeks old right now and has some spot on the top of his head where the hair is thinning and in those areas it looks a little red. He also has 2 tiny spots on his leg doing the same thing as well.
Now when we got him from the breeder he was fed IAMS Puppy chow. At around 12 weeks he started developing that hair loss scabby red looking areas. So we thought maybe it was his food so we switched to Canidae All Life stages. We slowly have transitioned him from one food to another and at almost 16 weeks is now on all Canidae. But those spots have not gone away. Now i'm not sure if he was allergic to Iams and is allergic to Canidae as well. He does have a vet appointment tomorrow for his last shot of kennel cough and lyme disease.
But in the meantime does anyone have any clues or comments or suggestions. It is not itching him. Just not sure what to do with the food situation, and also not sure if i should be giving him anything to try and remedy the situation.
Any help would be appreciated from you more experienced Boxer owners then myself.
