Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA)

Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA) is a hereditary skin condition affecting dogs with dilute coat colors, such as blue or fawn. It causes hair fragility, symmetrical hair loss, and skin issues due to abnormal melanin distribution in the hair shafts. While there is no cure, CDA can be managed through a combination of veterinary care, omega-3 supplementation, and thoughtful skin maintenance.
