Roxanne,

This sounds like what my Tacoma has.  He lost his hair on the spot on his
back and top of his head.  I thought it might be ringworm, but he tested
negative for that.  My vet suggested an anti-fungal cream like you put on
athlete's foot.  I bought some at Wal-Mart and it cleared up.  It reoccurs
often though.  My Tacoma is a Teddy and I have heard they are prone to skin
problems.  It doesn't seem to bother him.  The cream I bought is called
Micatin.

He only has it on the top of his head, and worse on his back over his hips.
I have been trying to find an anti-fungal shampoo to wash him with, as the
cream is hard to apply through his Teddy fur.  I call the condition 'scruff'
for want of a better name.

Let me know what works for Woody.

Dee
