Question
I have an 11 year old boston terrier who is not neutered. 3 years ago he began to loose his hair. We took him to the vet where he was given a blood test. He was tested for Testosterone levels, Cushings Disease, Cancer, Thyroid levels, and mites. All came back normal. My vet said hair loss occurs in dogs sometimes for no reason. I accepted that for a while. I have since gone to another vet who conducted the same tests, no difference. A skin specialist was consulted and he recommends a testosterone level test from the Univ. of Tennesee and neutering. My vet also recommends he being neutered and skin samples taken. My dog is a wonderful pet who also has cataracts and a little arthritis. The thought is that if we remove the testicles, he may grow hair back. I would spend any amount on my dog if it harvested results. Could this simply be too much testosterone?? Please help.
