She's an adorable little LC blue with a little cream and white. Her name is Skye. She's 3 months old. An April Fools baby :D My question is, she's losing her hair on her ears. I know that blues can get alopecia due to their genes. But what is the best thing for her to try to get the hair to grow back? Thanks for any help/ideas :) Lexi and Skye
