XTRAWLD Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I found 2 jet black whiskers in 2 days. Any ideas what could cause this? Ryder is certainly not at his peak of health but is whisker loss (not fur) a symptom of something else? (If it matters, he's missing the ones between eye and ear on one side...he's just got the dimple for it now) Edited January 14, 2018 by XTRAWLD Quote Proudly owned by:10 year old "Ryder" CR Redman Gotcha May 201012.5 year old Angel "Kasey" Goodbye Kasey Gotcha July 2005-Aug 1, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Have you caught him rubbing his head or muzzle on something? Any changes in food?

XTRAWLD Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Food changes yes, but no head rubbing of any sort. He's on a course of antibiotics at the moment, so I can only surmise that might have something to do with it, unless it is a symptom of a bigger issue.

GeorgeofNE Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I find discarded whiskers all the time. Unless your pooch's muzzle appears bald, I wouldn't give it another thought!
