1. Alopecia X
Alopecia X is when there is an absence of hair on your dog. The “X” in the name indicates that scientists haven’t yet understood why this condition is happening, why, or when! Dogs with this condition go through a gradual hair loss over the sides of their bodies. At first, you may notice those areas covered with a fuzzy puppy coat, but then it starts falling out. There is no treatment for this rare dog disease because it’s purely a cosmetic concern, but your vet may prescribe a few medications that suppress adrenal functions or hormone supplements.
