The first time I took Nixie to the vet, he told me that when GSP's are stressed they lose their hair around the eyes. Recently, I noticed Nixie seemed to be losing some around her left eye. It's only gotten worse and she keeps scratching it. Her right eye is perfectly normal. If it persists I'll be taking her to the vet but I wanted to see if you guys had anything to say about it. Thanks!

I honestly can't say, but, to me, it sounds like something other than stress. I would have it check out to be sure.

hmm others will know more but Bugsy had very minor demodex around his eyes as a pup. The fact she is scratching it lets you know its itchy.
I understand it can come out during heat too ( I recall she's young)
We just had some cream to rub into it for a while and it went away never to be seen again. They will have to scrape the skin for mites which sucks but he didn't mind
Good luck!

It's Bugsy's world...

Thank you both!

Yeah, I'm thinking she's close to her first heat so that could be it. She has almost a patch around her eye it's so bad now. :( I have an appointment tomorrow so we'll get this figured out!
