I have a question regarding my Staffy. He's losing hair behind his ears and now it looks like he's losing it round his eyes. He has to see the vet in two weeks, but I was just wondering what this could be and if there was anything I could do for him in the mean time?
Kind regards.

He could have mange, caused by mites. You need to see a vet, preferably sooner than in two weeks.
What is a staffy???
It is a common nickname for an American Staffordshire Terrier, similar to "Yorkie" being used for a Yorkshire Terrier.
There are several things that could cause this type of condition. Hope you can see the vet soon as I know your dog is probably not liking this condition very much and it will only progress further with each day of waiting.
Mites are more complex as there are two different types with entirely different treatments so it will be best if your vet gives you advice/medications.
Although mites are the most common cause of this condition there are also other things that could be causing this problem.
Here is a web site that will give you a little information but your vet should be seen as soon as possible.
