We recently had a question on the Embrace Facebook pageabout a bald spot onadog:
Q: It turns out that a tiny bald spot on my daughters dog is likely a result of the rabies vaccine. She may or may not grow her hair back. The vet doesnt think she should get rabies vaccines again. Anybody know how to regrow hair or anybody have a dog regrow hair after this happened to them?
Since Im not a veterinarian, I turned to Dr Rex Riggs, one of our veterinary advisors, for help with this question.
A: Rarely you can get a small area of alopecia in the area of where the rabies vaccine was given. You dont need to treat them, as they are just cosmetic. Sometimes if persistent, I will use some tacrolimus ointment. This is not a reason to stop rabies vaccine. This is purely cosmetic.
Have you noticed balding at vaccination sites on your dogs? Did the hair grow back again?
