Alopecia
It is also possible that Lagotto, as any other breed, get alopecia, which presents similar symptoms to hypothyroidism but does not require treatment.
There is no link between Hypothyroidism and flank Alopecia. This is believed to be seasonal, as in the time of year, rather than endocrinal. It can affect male and female. It is self-limiting, comes and goes and regrows itself. The dog is otherwise healthy.
