You are welcome and you are NOT stupid. Overworked, overtired, underpaid and under-appreciated maybe...:thumbs up

thank you :grouphug: now i have been searching can not find nothing on hair loss

This http://www.petdiabetes.net/Health&Diet/Health-hairloss.html just says that it's common and is usually slowed down or stopped when the diabetes is under control.

But it does appear that alopecia can be caused by a number of illnesses.

ok going a little nuts here i will put in a call asap tom am to the vet its just a tad bit of hair missing, please tell me im not jumping the gun-, maby he is just getting old

Brenda ~ if it gives you peace of mind CALL. No harm, no foul right?

Given that he has no other symptoms ~ it likely is nothing to worry about. Age, a little stress ~ heck, even I'M losing hair !!! :D

:goodvibes: for the vet visit, Brenda!
