Puppy Rash on Head and Stomach

My 6 month old pit bull has a rash on his head and on his stomach. He has bald spots on his head and neck and his hair on his back by hos tail is getting thinner. Would it be a rash or could it be mange?

I can’t upload pictures since I don’t have a camera.

Hi Jessee,
Since you cannot provide any photos, which would help to determine the problem, I suggest that you take your 6 month old Pitbull puppy to a holistic veterinarian. A skin scraping can be done to rule out Demodex mange.

He is the right breed and age for Demodex.

As this is a condition caused by a weakened immune system, the sooner that he is diagnosed, the better.

Another resource for vets knowledgeable in homeopathy is AVH.org.
