    TLDR A cat lost hair on its back a month after a road accident, despite no initial skin injuries.
    An 11-month-old female domestic short-haired cat developed non-pruritic alopecia in the dorso-lumbar area one month after a road accident, despite initially showing no dermatological lesions in that area. The cat had a fracture in the left hind limb. Four months post-accident, clinical examination revealed alopecia with histopathological findings of absent adnexae, mild fibroplasia and fibrosis, pyogranulomas at the dermo-hypodermal junction, and a moderately stenotic hypodermal artery. These findings were consistent with post-traumatic dorso-lumbar alopecia, highlighting the unique fracture location and significant histopathological changes, including pyogranulomas and stenosing arteriopathy.

      TE (telogen effluvium) is often misunderstood and is triggered by severe stress or trauma, not minor daily inconveniences. Most hair loss cases are due to male pattern baldness (AGA), and treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride can help.
