Question
My 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

Answer
Boston lost his hair;  skin problems in Boston dog;


**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...
