Boxer Losing Hair On Sides
Canine Prednisone Causing Hairloss?
My 1 year old boxer has been diagnosed with Aseptic Menengitis and has been on Prednisone treatment for the last 2 months and will continue dosage for another 3 to 4 months. He’s been losing hair over the past month or so and has a few bald areas and a few thinning areas, is this a side effect of the prednisone? If so is there anyway to help with the amount of hair loss? Will his hair grow back once his treatment is done? Thanks in advance.
Yes, one of the side affects is poor coat. My beardie was on prednisone and it affected his coat drastically. Whether or not your dog’s coat will go back to normal depends a lot on how long he’s on the prednisone. Relatively short term his coat should come back. Also, your guy is only a year old, my dog was quite old when he was on it so his coat wasn’t what it was when he was younger.
