Alopecia – Partial or complete hair loss
Alopecia is defined as a partial or complete loss of hair and when you first encounter this in your pets, it can be very worrying. It can be as a result of your pet biting, or licking their fur. Occasionally, there may be more complex causes such as hormonal problems or infections such as ringworm.
