Why is my Boston Terrier losing neck hair & has ear bumps after a fight?

Question

Hi I have just sent you pics of my boston terrier but my fone crashed. Did you get them. Alfie has symmetrical hair loss on each side of his neck and small bumps on the edges of both ears. He was attacked by a jack russell around the throat and that's what I thought the hair loss was from. Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 2 months old | 10 lbs

Oh no, poor Alfie! Yes, your pictures did load and I can see them. You are correct that the attack from the Jack Russell could be the cause of his hair loss. The area doesn't look infected from the pictures, and I would keep an eye on it for how. Should the hair loss spread or it doesn't grow back in, then I would have him seen by a vet.
