    genetic condition causing hair loss in dogs with diluted coats

    Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA) is a genetic condition primarily seen in dogs with diluted coat colors, such as blue or fawn. It results in hair thinning and loss, as well as recurrent skin infections, due to the abnormal distribution and clumping of pigment granules within the hair shafts. This condition is often observed in breeds like Doberman Pinschers and Great Danes.
