He probable has some "hot spots" dermatis my little dog would bump her back end under the edge of the couch till she had a bald spots. You can get Sulfodene for dogs at wal-malt and I know you can get it at a pet shop, but it treats HotSpots, Moist dermatitis, and Eczema. This is probable what is wrong if your dog scratches, has hair loss, and or redness. It is under $5.00 in cost and worth it. Till you can get it, a little Benadryl will help.
