Question
My dog is a 3 yr old part beagle/mini doberman.He started to get gray around his right eye,but almost looking like he was actually losing it, then recently I've noticed that he is also getting gray or sparce spots on other parts of his body,small spots,hind legs,back etc. I would like to know what is causing it, Thank you very much,It is perplexing to say the least. They are not sore at all.

Answer
I am not sure what you mean he is losing it, what is he losing, the eye?
If your dog's eye is getting white or gray you need to get him in to see your vet. Patches of hair loss can be from many things- from bad diets to hormones to mange and more.

It's time to make an appointment to see the vet and have a good exam of your dog and maybe some blood work also.
