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
