Junior has this and will be 4 at the end of February. He is very bald on the tail area. Do you think using dermacidal soap, oxy 10, epi-coat-one of these will bring back his hair since it has been such a long time with out hair, could the hair follicles already be dead and no chance? It doesn't bother him at all, just looks well bald. Just want to know before I go out and purchase this stuff on what the chances would be.....Having this doesn't harm him at all does it? It would just be for looks then right? :confused:

This is very common in both dogs and bitches. It doesn't harm them in any way. I know many people who've had success with Oxy 10, and certainly picking up a small bottle won't set you back too much. I put it on Savannah once a day, and eventually it worked, though you could probably put it on twice a day.

No guarantees - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Certainly no harm in leaving it if you wish:)

Dollface
are we talking a spot of baldness or quite a lot of the tail ???
I was advised Liverine Unction on a small area

Well its like 1/3rd down his tail...He doesn't have much of a tail and he doesn't chew it at all so I assume this is what he has, being a boston his tail is only 2 to 3 inches long (he takes more after the terrier then the bulldog). It's bald but more in a straight line and doesn't quite come to the tip of his tail but almost. Yup pretty bald there. He has had it for a long time and it hasn't changed at all.
