My 13 month old bitch is starting to lose her hair/fur around the areas of what we would call armpits and on her back legs. Does this normally happen with dogs. She is fit and healthy but I cant understand why this is happening?

Could be hormonal , has she had a season yet?

Is she kept inside or outside??

Could be that she has a Thyroid problem!!!!

No she has not had a season and she is kept indoors
