The hair on the tip of my Poodle’s ear suddenly fell out and it’s bald — why?

Sudden baldness at a Poodle's ear tip is often a fungal skin infection causing hair loss, itching, dandruff, and scabs. If those signs match, treat the spot with a vet-recommended topical ointment, and also check the rest of the body since ear fungus often spreads — treat everything at once to avoid recurrence.

Constant scratching can be a skin condition or just a dirty, unbathed coat. Check for scabs, red patches, hair loss, and dandruff; if present, a vet-recommended topical skin ointment treats it. If not, a medicated, parasite-control shampoo and a vet-recommended external parasite treatment usually resolve it.

Treat with a vet-recommended topical skin treatment, then apply a vet-recommended external parasite control to cure it and prevent recurrence.

My 5-month-old Pomeranian has developed scabs on the tips of its ears that haven’t broken open yet — is this a skin condition?

Ear-tip crusting in young dogs (roughly 5 months to adulthood) is most often a fungal skin infection. These infections are persistent and need a fairly long treatment course, but a pet-safe topical antifungal ointment applied to the cleaned, clipped area usually resolves it.

My 2-year-old Bichon Frise has been coughing all day with mucus on its nose but no sneezing — could this be a cold, and how should I treat it?

A Bichon Frise coughing with nasal discharge but no sneezing could signal either canine distemper or an early cold. For a simple cold, keep the dog warm and use a vet-approved canine cold remedy; if signs persist, get a veterinary check to exclude distemper.
