bald spot

20 9:49:41

Question
I have a 4yr old black lab who developed a bald spot 2yr's ago and has been growing ever since.  He's been tested for a thyroid problem and came back negative do you have any suggestions?

Answer
Dear James,

Really, i think its up to your vet to suggest things. There are many possible answers to this, but I'd have to see the dog to give you the correct one.  THe vet should be able to give medication or rub on to help stop and regrow the hair.  Good luck and tell me how it goes,
Amy
