Please see your vet immediately. Chihuahuas are noted for being high strung (nervous) and it your little pet may have been scratch her head with her paw. Dogs can also get 'hot spots' and my part Bichon Frise had two bald spots on each side just above her tail. I got some antibiotic cream from the vet to put on it (takes the itch out) and her hair has started to grow (now she doesn't look like moldy piece of cheese. LOL) Dermatitis is a common problem in many breeds of dogs, so it's important you take your pet into the vets to decide exactly what is wrong. The vet may even change the diet your pet is on. Missing skin needs to be dealt with immediately before infection sets in. If you can't get into the vets for a few days then please do this: Take a small basic with TEPID WATER, and add 1/4 cup of Epsom Salts into it. (***BOIL WATER AND ADD TO EPSON SALT CRYSTALS TO MELT AND THEN POUR INTO TEPID WATER.) Take a clean face cloth and soak in the mixture, wring some water out and place on wound. Leave for 5 minutes. Tap with towel to get excess water off the dog's head. Do this twice a day until you see the vet.

What happens when babies are born without skin?

its quite simple really. the baby will inevitably die. your skin is in place to protect your muscles and organs from infection. That is not entirely accurate. The outcome depends on the percentage of skin that is missing, most babies can grow the missing skin, and in a severe case, they have had many successful skin grafts.
