A 6-year-old female, shih-tzu was presented in the February with bilateral, symmetrical hair loss andhyperpigmentation on caudal dorsolumbar region. Skin test and blood examination found no remarkable finding.
Histopathological examination of biopsies from the alopecic lesions revealed follicular atrophy, infundibularhyperkeratosis and some follicles were twisted truncated and dilated. The diagnosis of recurrent flank alopecia wasbased on clinical signs and supportive histopathology.
