    GlossaryAlopecia X

    condition in dogs causing hair loss without systemic illness

    Alopecia X is a condition primarily seen in certain dog breeds, such as Pomeranians and Alaskan Malamutes, characterized by hair loss without any underlying systemic illness. The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to be related to hormonal imbalances or genetic factors. While it does not typically affect the dog's overall health, it can lead to significant cosmetic concerns and requires veterinary attention for management.
