Hi there. Hair loss can be caused by fungal infection, but also by mites, allergies or internal disease. I would not recommend applying anything until you have a confirmed diagnosis. Topical antifungal creams usually work, so if Jessie isn't responding it may be something different. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
