It could be a thyroid problem My miniature dachshund had the same thing and when I had him tested he was positive for thyroid. The first sign is hair loss on the ears and neck. They will also gain weight.

Take her to the vet and ask for a thyroid test to find out. If it is positive she will have to go on medication to get straight. It took some time and trying different dosages but my boy is looking so much better now then he did.

I adopted him from the pound and he was a walking flea, so at first thought that his hair loss was from soooooo many fleas. But I got rid of them right away and his hair never came back. Hypothyroidism is very common in this breed, so talk to you vet.

Here is a site to read up about it: peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=2&cat=1... .

As the happy owner of 3 mini-doxies i'd richly advise you to look at dachshund.org particularly the healthcare section. It's a wonderful resource website. Good luck.

And remember "if it's not a dachshund....it's just a dog! " .

Goodbye! Said: 1 Is it just along the edges, or over the entire ear? .

Goodbye! Said: 4 I wish I remembered what my vet called it, but our doxie had the same thing after she turned around one. Then she had it all her life, and the vet said nothing to be done for it or be concerned about.

Sorry! I wish I knew more, but I was mostly wondering if it was the same thing! I love Doxies - they have such great personalities.

Of all the dog breeds I've owned, I think they're the most like cats. Very independent minded.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
