Can't Post
Hi My dog has lost alot of hair. Mostly in her rear side. Her tail has very little hair. She has like a rash...pink skin in some areas. She also scratches alot. I have noticed two protuverant bones at her back. Aligned or abo ve her pelvis. She tends to be more skinny in at the rear too
Might all this be related?? I took her to the vet and he told it was ok not to worry. Perla

You dog has almost no coat/hair left on her tail ... has a rash and scratches a lot - AND your vet says that it is okay?!!??
I think you need to take your dog to another vet ... a vet who understands coat/skin conditions.
It does not sound like normal shedding to me - not if your dog has very little hair left on her tail, has a rash and is scratching a lot ...
You need to find a vet to run some tests on her to try and identify what is causing the coat/skin problem ... Please do not delay - the faster you identify the cause, the faster treatment can begin.
