Why is my husky losing hair on one side after sitting in waste?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female

I picked my husky up and i found out she has been sitting in poop and urine. Now her hair is falling out on one side. I don’t have a lot of money to take her to the vet but it’s freaking me out. What should I do?

That's not good. Give Snow a bath, and make sure she is up to date on her flea treatment, giving her one after she is dried off from the bath if she isn't. Monitor her, and if the hair loss gets worse, then take her into the vet. I hope this helps!
