Hi,

I have a two week old wagyu calf who is losing hair and skin on her back legs in chunks. The skin that is coming off is very pale and dry, and leaving soft pink skin underneath with no hair (or some, very sparse hair). Any ideas what it could be? I have attached some photos.

Thanks

Hair loss is common in calves after they've had a high fever or scours. No need to do anything; it will grow back.

Yeah, that is my usual issure, however this calf has not scoured at all or had any fevers (as far as I know). She has been very active and healthy from day 1. That's why I was more concerned as I couldn't think of a cause for it.
 
I had a calf do that once, that never had scours, never appeared sick, it lost hair off of it's legs, and around it's eyes, when it grew back in the hair was black instead of white I never treated it, it resolved on it's own.
