DIET, CHECK FOR THYROID ISSUES
11/15/2008: Katharine from Charleston, SC writes: "If your animal is losing fur, the most common cause I have seen is one of two things:
1. Diet - make sure your pet is on a good brand of pet food or a raw food diet. A "Good" brand includes something that has NO corn, wheat, soy, or animal by-products. To go a step further without going raw, try a good grain-free diet.
2. Thyroid problems - have a blood panel done to see if your pet's thyroid is functioning properly. I have seen many bald dogs that are all suffering from an under-active Thyroid. After determining if this is the problem, refer to remedies for Thyroid."
11/13/2011: Kathy from Billings, Mt, Usa replies: "Please also check if hormone creams are being used by the owner. My 6 pound dog has had unexplained, frustrating and sad hairloss for two years. I homecook for him. And I have tried everything I can think of, including melatonin, which has shown no results either. I think it is the compounded estrogen cream I have been using, and recently veterinarians are seeing more and more of this cause. Save yourself a lot of money in lab tests which show no results. I will be stopping the estrogen use as of today.I am asking for help for an estrogen detox for my poor little guy. He is otherwise in great health, but he is young. His liver needs a detox, I think. Any suggestions???"

Then her stomach shrank, and she lost her hair around that same area. I need holistic kitchen help. Thank you for emailing me.
*I think I wrote you before about this?"
