What is the reason why a dog's tail has no hair? It may be genetic problems or environmental factors, such as vitamin deficiency or malnutrition, viral infections, trauma or other diseases.
1. Seasonal hair replacement
Dogs will enter the hair replacement period in spring and autumn every year. At this time, the dog's hair will fall off in large quantities, not only will the tail fall off, but other parts will also fall off. This is a normal phenomenon. The owner can regularly comb the dog's hair to help the dog's old hair fall off and the normal growth of new hair.
2. When a dog suffers from skin diseases, it will also cause hair loss, and itching, dandruff and other symptoms. It is recommended that the owner check the dog's tail. If there are symptoms of skin diseases on the tail, he or she needs to take the dog to the pet hospital for treatment in time to prevent the skin diseases on the tail from spreading to the whole body and causing more serious consequences.
3. Parasite infection
If the owner has not dewormed the dog for a long time, after the dog is infected with fleas, lice, mites and other ectoparasites, the parasite will continue to absorb the nutrition of the dog's body, and the loss of nutrition will lead to hair loss, especially those dogs with large tails and thick hair. The owner can peel off the dog's hair and check it. If you see many small black spots or dander, it means that the dog is also infected with parasites. At this time, you need to consult a pet doctor in time and choose safe and effective deworming drugs to deworm.
