Question

Bentlee
Hi my name is Kelsi... My little Bentlee will be 9 weeks tomorrow she is a beautiful brindle boxer but she started to lost her hair around her butt and now her sides and behind her ears are getting thinner I have an apt. for my vet but i was just wondering what it might be. Please help me :(

Thank You
Kelsi

Answer
Hi Kelsi,

It is probably demodectic mange or an allergic reaction to fleas. Keep the vet appointment and have him do a skin scrapping to get the best results. Thank you for your question and congratulations on your new boxer puppy.
