missing fur around the eyes

Question
my dog is 12-13 month old American pit terrier mix and she
has lost fur directly around her eyes (where the lashes
would be), and there are little patches of missing fur
around the outer parts of her eyes, can anyone help?

Answer
Hi Alicia,

Thank you for writing to me about your dog's fur loss issue.

It is essential that you have this looked at by a vet to determine the cause.  It could be anything from ringworm to vaccinosis to allergies.  Once you have the diagnosis, please contact me for further recommendations.

Best,
