Short hair patches

Was hoping for some help and advice, both Thor and Rogue have developed short hair patches directly in the middle of there heads between there ears, the patches are about the size of a thumb nail, they dont seem to bother them but just seemed strange that they both had them?? any ideas??

Also, Rogue has a bald patch on the side of her face, about the size of a 10p coin, again it does not bother her, no scratching etc, thought it may have been due to play fighting with Thor but it has not got any better i.e returned hair growth. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks   

Not itching or bothering them? have they been the vet? As there're are both blue, what colour were their parents? Xx

no itching or scratching, they are both at the vet next week and both parents were blue, im aware of colour dilution alopecia but dont think it is this as Thor displays a healthy coat with no other patches elsewhere.

Could just be from playing or just thin fur, Darcy's practically naked on her chest and backside even the vet said "she's bald" mentionit to the vet Hun when you go, they might do skin scales to rule out demodex

will do, thanks for your help   

Is it possible they both been playing in a area that could have caused this? Good luck at the vets.

It could well be that there is something in the garden that has caused it, we are at the vets today so hopefully will get some answers :-)

Vinnie gets it sometimes and exactly the same place, no itching or scratching but it soon grows back.Hope the vet trip goes well   

Rockys hair is quite fine on his head too, if he catches the sunlight sometimes it looks like he has bald patches.

Thank you Inez :-) Yeah Kathy, Hopefully it will be nothing to worry about, and will finally get it sorted :-)

Do let us know how the trip to the vets goes, hope it goes well

Will do, Thanks Hayley :-)

Just an update for you all... The vet says the little patch on Thor's head is completely normal she sees it all the time so he is totally fine. Rogue on the other hand, may have a number of things but the vet seems to think its allergies, and has recommended keeping her out of the garden for a few weeks, and not giving any treats just sticking to her normal food to see if there is any improvements, if not they will look at other things and take skin samples etc, or perhaps prescribe her antihistimines, So I guess only time will tell! Fingers crossed we find what it is!

Hope so x

That's good then, nothing major to worry about, just see how things go.
