**What are the reasons for dog's ear hair loss?

Hair loss is a symptom of skin lesions. The causes of partial hair loss in the ears include bacterial infections, fungal infections, parasite bites, and itchy ears due to internal ear disorders. The cause of the disease needs to be diagnosed by a veterinarian, and treatment should be administered according to the examination results, which is the best choice. Do not use medication randomly until the cause is found.

**How to deal with dog's ear hair loss?

Whether it is caused by any cause, it is necessary to clean the dog's ear canal and apply anti-inflammatory and bactericidal drugs. Once the ear canal disease is resolved, the hair loss will gradually decrease and return to normal. If there are no inflammatory symptoms in the dog's ears, it is likely due to excessive consumption of salty food or allergies. In this case, feed the dog high-quality dog food with low allergenic ingredients to ensure a balanced diet and avoid hair loss in the ears due to nutritional imbalance.
