fur loss
Animal going bald
Fur loss is the shedding or absence of an animal's coat, whether from natural causes like seasonal molting, or from disease, stress, parasites, or aging.
Pet owners notice fur loss as bald patches or excessive shedding: The vet said the fur loss was caused by allergies.
The term applies almost exclusively to animals, not humans.
