Sherry  hi .Shadow had something happen like this last summer when we came
back from Vacation .I took him to the vets and nothing could be found that
was wrong his skin looked fine but he lost a lot of his hair on his front
legs except for a baby fine covering.Somewhere it is believed he came into
contact with something he was allergic to while on vacation.He had no
redness to the skin at all either just hair loss.
