My dog is losing hair and going bald on the outer side of its hind right leg — why?
Patchy hair loss and baldness on a Poodle's hind leg is often ringworm, a fungal infection. Look for scabs, hair loss, itching, and dandruff across the body; if present, it is ringworm, treatable with a vet-recommended antifungal ointment after clipping the fur over the spot. If no skin symptoms appear, consult an online vet for a diagnosis.
