12:22 pm
jill chase. thanks for being with us. today's top sick from perry whose chihuahua is losing fur on his tail. so what do you think about that? you have some cats here. first introduce us to these kitties. >> on my left is stoleie and this is his sibling at home yakob. they are about 3. he wants to leave. >> i don't think they are too pleased with the studio experience. >> no. so, um, it's a good question. of course, i can't diagnose without actually looking at a pet but in general, whenever we have an animal that has fur loss we're looking for several things. one is it itchy? is the animal itchy? is that why the fur is being lost? are there any lesions? is it just skin and no little bumps and scabs? and the location of the hair loss is very important. >> so in this case, it sounds like it's the tail is -- does that give you any clues? >> yeah. flee allergy dermatitis is the
12:23 pm
most common reason why animals lose fur on the tail so i would recommend they see a veterinarian. we see that in cats also. cats are interesting in that when they are grooming from fleas they will be like from the shoulder blades backwards and sometimes the fur will change color because of the saliva. dogs itch over the butt and tail. so think about that you don't always -- i can't say this too many times. you don't always see fleas when it is a flea problem so don't think because you don't see fleas it's not fleas. >> you would notice a certain amount of itching? >> yes with flea allergies. we think about mites. we can done skin scraping fungal cultures. there's a lot of things we can do. >> all that fun stuff. yeah. dr. jill chase thank you for that. thank you for bringing your friends in today. just email pets@kpix.com, and we'll have our pet expert give you an answer every friday right here at noon. ,,
