    @elbrant That's good to know! We are in Kansas where pollen and allergies are rampant lol, I am wondering more if that's what it is since the build-up isn't increasing very quickly at all. Seems to be worse after we spend a while outside.

    @tonyzz said in Hairloss on blackening ears and brown belly: I would say Yeast infection on the belly. I have not see the black on the ears, but they (vet) should at least do a scrapping

    Our Buana has the same thing, since he is a puppie. Every winter his ears get dry, and loose hair. For Buana there is no medical issue behind it but it looks like the dry air of winter gives the edges of the ears a hard time. We have tried all kind of things but nothing helps, we stopped finding what to do and let it, and in spring the ears get the hairs back.. But with Buana it does not itch.. You can try almond oil, but you have to start before they ears loose the hairs...

    @Patty: vet is not cooperative - get another professional opinion. Yup. Never hurts to get a 2nd opinion.
