Dog is Licking Its Hair Off
Today I noticed that my dog was licking underneath her right leg. When I checked her, I noticed that underneath her right leg she did not have any hair unlike her left side were she has hair. What can this be and is it something I should be concerned about? She is 5 years old and a Shih Tzu.

Consult your veterinarian before the problem escalates.

I agree, your dog should go to the vet.

Hello,
I have worked for a Veterinarian for over 27 years as an R.V.T.. Please take your baby to his/her Vet for an exam, it sounds like what the vet will call a hot spot. This can be treated with a topical medication and your vet might give her an injection to stop the itch. Good luck.

It could be fleas or perhaps she is allergic to something.
