Hey, thanks for the link, that looks like a pretty good list! Alopecia areata certainly looks like a possible culprit, although one thing we've noticed is that he does seem to be scratching more and the description says "no itching" so I dunno... I'm going to study that list and see if I can eliminate possibilities systematically. I might even print out that list and take it with me to the vet so we can go over it together. On another board where I posted the same question everybody's saying "flea allergy dermatitis" but the thing is, the mite medication we have him on is also supposed to kill fleas. One thing I've noticed with this is that the hair loss is mostly confined to the head and shoulders area - you can even see a distinct line around his shouders of the hair loss area, like a little ruff. Unfortunately it's moving downward...
