My dog has severe hair loss, no vets can find anything wrong with him. Any ideas for a cure?

He is a pomeranian and is about 4 years old. He's had a full coat once since I adopted him from the pound. [when we got him he did not have hair, but over the course of time he grew hair.] He then recieved a hair cut and his hair has not grown back since [this was about a year ago.], does anyone have any ideas for how to cure this illness? No vets can find anything wrong so i decided to ask you guys... HELP ME %26amp; MY DOG, PLEASE!My dog has severe hair loss, no vets can find anything wrong with him. Any ideas for a cure?
Have the vets done a thyroid panel?


I have a dog with low thyroid, and it can cause coat and skin problems.My dog has severe hair loss, no vets can find anything wrong with him. Any ideas for a cure?
My dog goes bald if he eats what he is allergic to.He can only eat salmon.Try salmon and rice dog food see if that is it.
Did they check his thyroid? That will cause his hair to fall out. If it is it usually starts falling out around the neck first, then the undercoat and chest.
Has the vet checked hormone levels, thyroid levels, done skin scrapings, checked for mites, mange, fungus, ect?


The vet should do all of these tests and there are probably other tests they might suggest.





Also pomeranians can come down with a condition called Black Skin Disease. Here are two links below.
You can take him to another vet for a second opinion, or a vet dermatologist for an exact diagnosis. The symptoms you are describing are classic for hypothyroid. A simple blood test can determine this and most vets can help you.
what is his skin color like? if it has darkened it could be a full body yeast infection
