    TLDR The conclusion is that different treatments improved hair growth in dogs with Alopecia X, but results varied and not all dogs had complete hair regrowth.
    The study "Alopecia X in dogs: report of seven cases" is a retrospective analysis of seven dogs diagnosed with Alopecia X (AX), a non-inflammatory and non-pruritic skin disease characterized by progressive hair loss. The dogs were treated with a similar therapeutic approach, which included the orchiectomy process, followed by supplementation with omega-3 and vitamin complex. Two dogs underwent the microneedling technique due to partial response to conventional treatment, and only one of them showed complete hair regrowth. The study concluded that while all therapies resulted in an improvement in hair growth, the therapeutic response was variable, and some dogs may not show complete hair regrowth. The authors encourage further research involving therapy comparison to better understand their efficiency.

      Hair loss treatments, ranging from topical minoxidil and finasteride to taking hormones such as estradiol or nandrolone, as well as a controversial suggestion of an orchiectomy. A hair system is also mentioned as an alternative solution.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
