The breeder says it's probably mange and that she'll grow out of it.[/b]

That's a surprising statement- if it's mange she certainly won't outgrow it- it needs to be treated.

Maybe it's a flea allergy,which was your vet's first guess, but maybe it's not.The fact that it's getting larger would worry me.

It could be ring worm or mange or a variety of things- with the affected area getting larger, it would make sense for the vet to take a scraping and investigate further.

"This mange may correct itself within three months or may require treatment."

Thanks for the information Betsy- I honestly didn't know that this form of mange could resolve on its own- a beagle pup I fostered years ago had this and the vet didn't even mention that possibility.

Nestor, I'll be interested to hear what happens.
