QuestionMy Boston is 12 months old, she is red with white. She is fed Blue Buffalo food (hypoallergenic) She is brushed weekly and bathed with an oatmeal shampoo (4-5 weeks). She has started to bald around her ears and possibly the sides of her forehead. She is scratching 1 ear so I do plan to take her in. Is hair loss common with red Bostons? Thanks for getting back to me

**HI All! Bostons are prone to skin and coat problems. May be some kind of allergen hitting this gal. Oh, I love the RED Bostons! How about adding some supplements to her program?
The Blue Buff is a good food. You can keep on this food a little longer.
I hate to make food changes right away.
How about some Vitamin E - We have had great luck with Nature's Sunshine Brand:
Give 1 vit E per day for 5 days , and then give 1 EVERY other Day for 1 month...
EXCELLENT for the immune system
( Can be found in some Heatlh Food stores or on-line)
Nature's Sunshine sells a very good quality Vit E.
*** these are 100 IU each - very low dosage and SAFE...
