Hello. I am sorry that Aria isn't feeling well. Weight loss and hair loss are a concern for a dog, especially at 2 years of age. Many things can cause this including metabolic diseases, viruses, parasites, bacterial infection, and also gastric causes. I would suggest having Aria seen by a vet. They will check her skin for fleas and also check her for worms. They may want to do bloodwork as well. Good luck with her!
