Unhappy hair loss, vomitting boxer
Our 3 yr old boxer has fur loss on her sides. The vet said it was probably seasonal alopecia but she also vomits usually 4 times a week so I'm second guessing it. My boyfriend thinks it's because she's eating things off the floor like a piece of thread was in her vomit the other day. Before that he thought it was from all the table scraps she got but we put a stop to that over a month or so and she's still vomitting.

please take her to the vet ASAP and keep us posted. Vomitting 4 times a week would definetly have me worried...

I agree with OG and meb. Sounds like there could by a hormonal issue tied in there. Definitely not something to wait and see about.

For sure, take her to the vet for blood work. Results come back within hours. My boxer was diagnosed with a hypothyroidism.
