Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Zulu is having skin issues. Areas of hair loss can be due to a variety of causes, including skin parasites (mites or fleas), allergies, an infection (bacterial or fungal), or another underlying medical issue. If the spots are worsening or spreading, or if they are itchy/seem uncomfortable, I would recommend Zulu be evaluated by her regular veterinarian to determine the underlying cause for her hair loss, have any necessary testing done (skin scrape, culture) and start on any treatment (parasiticide, anti-itch medication, antibiotic) that she may need to resolve it. Good luck!
