my boston is losing hair;

Question
Hi my Boston terrier is losing hair in and around her ears also a little on her head and around her eyes. her skin in her ears looks irritated and scaly shes scratching but i wouldn't say alot, not enough to have mites. If she was allergic to something like her food how when it been the same food shes been eating since she was weaned and nothing in our house has changed I'm really worried

Answer
Hi Kristen, Please have your Boston checked by a vet.  I wonder if she may have a low thryoid and will need medications.  Only a blood test will tell you what may be wrong with the thryoid or other body systems.
Also, yes, it could be environmental allergies, too.
I can help with foods, supplements and oils....
First thing, see the vet and then get back to me.
