There are a few things that can cause hair loss that looks like this and these include flea allergy, skin mites, ringworm, bacterial infection and allergies. The fastest cure will be to go to the veterinarian and have Rango checked for fleas and mites. If these are discovered the doctor will recommend a medication to give him to kill the parasites. Otherwise you can try treating his lesions at home but it may not be successful pending the cause. First you need to wash the areas every day with an antibacterial soap. Make sure to rinse it well. Then you will need to make sure he is not licking or chewing at the areas. An Elizabethan collar worn at all times will help to stop that behavior. Lastly you can take a dab of coconut oil and rub it into the hairless areas once to twice daily. You must make sure that he does not lick this off as it could cause stomach upset. If the areas are not getting significantly better within a couple weeks, or if they’re getting worse, then I recommend to see his veterinarian. You can also rule out fleas by putting him on a good product. Your local veterinarian may have some recommendations. I like a product called Simparica. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
