Skin Came off
My 6 Months old chow girl skin came off, she didn't get into a fight.
Can someone tell me what is the cause?

Re: Skin Came off
AAwww, I'm sorry to see the bald spots on your baby. Please get your baby to the vet to see what's going on with her. Hopefully it's nothing serious...

Re: Skin Came off
It looks like a scab came off. It could be an insect bite or a heat spot. Some.Chows get skin sores that are caused by a fungal infection. Did it have a smell to it at all?
Try putting some antifungal medication on it and see if it looks better. If it gets a bad odor or pus it could be an infection. My Chows have also had similar lesions caused by grass seeds/ Foxtail burrs that get into the skin. It doesn't look too serious so I would watch it and see if it gets better....if not call the vet.
Best of Luck!
