User talk:CLL05/Alopecia in animals

Henv 680:

- Might be useful to look at the human alopecia article (titled hair loss) and draw inspiration from their content structure (i.e including a causes/management treatment or whatever you are able to find citations for) - If there is a species that is particularly prone to alopecia might be fun to include a more in depth look at that (I do know self mutilation in captive parrots is a HUGE thing that they do for a variety of reasons for example; you could also do a nice chunk on canine alopecia causes and treatments) - Of course as always images (of the skin condition and species affected) where possible is helpful. - Also including a definition for alopecia would be great.

Some (possible) questions that can be explored

- Is there a first recorded incident of alopecia in animals? - How do scientists induce alopecia in lab subjects (genetic manipulation? Stress exercises? Pre or post-natal manipulations?) - Are any forms of alopecia zoogenic? (Transmissible to humans) - Whats the expected quality of life for animals that have this (in the wild? In captivity?)

Really cool topic ! I’m so excited to see it when its done 😊 OctoberOctopus (talk) 03:31, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
