Hey everyone,

I had a couple question's about meeka. I figured I would make one post instead of a couple to avoid cluster in the forums. I noticed around both her eye's lately that meeka has been balding. I already give her coconut oil every morning to help her fur ( she has bad dander otherwise ) and this helped her a lot since. However like I mentioned around both eye's the fur seems to be getting thinner. Any thoughts ?

Also this doesn't seem to affect her at all but more of a concern on my part. I've also noticed in the past couple weeks when I'm petting her butt and she's wiggling, it feels like her hip is double jointed as it makes a popping feel. It doesn't happen every time but it happened enough for me to notice. Can dog's be double jointed ? Should I be worried about this ??

Thanks in advanced,
Steve and Meeka !
 
Not sure about the balding around her eyes, could be nothing, or could be a mite. As far as her hips, she could have loose hip. I wouldn't think aat her young age it would be dysplasia yet, but only a vet can tell.
 
I agree with David..... I would have her skin scraped for mites to rule out mange. As for the hips, she is still growing so you can have them checked by a vet to confirm there is nothing serious going on
 
OK thanks everyone for the reply's ! I'm going to go get her checked out today !

i know this is a super late respond, but im actually in the same boat with my girl and her hips having a popping feel. I'd love to hear an update :)

Hey Earqueta,

Just responding even though I think this is super late haha ! The vet at the time said because she was under a year old her hips were still developing and it should be nothing to worry about. Meeka is now a year and a half and I actually forgot about her hips popping over time until I saw this message. +1 for the vet for being right haha Hopefully your little one is fine !!
