that is great thank you, interested to see what others are doing to manage, i think leaving alone and monitoring thyroid in future will suffice for now, thanks again

I have good results in sighthounds with seaweed supplementation (better if added with turmeric/coconut/mint "ultimate supplement"). I suspect may be due to iodine and low basal thyroid levels

I have used melatonin in a family member's dog alas to no effect . I ordered it online and I think off hand the dose was 3mg a day for a couple of months .

Not in this case, but have used Melacutin in 'canine seasonal alopecia' cases - with little definite improvement!

[quote user="Anthony Dennison"]I've often seen this in sighthounds, because of their thin coat and skin they just go bald in areas of friction such as neck where the collar is and the inguinal area. [/quote]

Second this! Never used melatonin, interested in others experiences.
