Where's the Hair?

It's been four months since Presley's surgery. Her fur has been slowly growing in, but she has several patches where the fur isn't growing back at all. Her skin looks very dry in these patches, almost mangy.

There are no lesions or crusting, so I don't really think it is mange. She doesn't seem to be bothered by these furless patches, but they do look kinda strange. She doesn't try to scratch these areas or rub up against them, so I don't think they are itchy. However, every once in awhile, her skin feels hotter or colder than other parts of her.

I just went into the bedroom to take a picture of her furless patches, but she's laying on that side and I'd hate to make her move. She looks very comfortable!

You'll see that Presley Bear isn't alone, a lot of dogs have this issue. It takes a lot of time to get all furry again.
