    Hi,
    My lab pup got scratched by one of the other pups under her eye. The scratch is gone but now there's a bald spot, I was just wondering, will the hair grow back?

    As long as it wasn’t a severe deep wound it should grow back in several months or less. Has the vet looked at it to make sure it looks ok?

    My pup got a graze on her muzzle when she was about five months. No blood, but the hair was pulled out. The hair did grow back eventually but you can still see where it was if you know where to look.

    Yes, it will likely grow back - but this can take months.

    Thanks everyone! It wasn't a deep cut, there isn't even a scar anymore. It bled a tiny bit, do you think I should show a vet? It was just a tiny scratch, nothing big

    Doesn't sound like a vet would need to do anything.
    We have had bald spots after Tic bites. Always grows back.
    Always it amazes me how spay scars are invisible after a year or so at most.

    Poppy has two bald spots where the hair has never grown back, but they were both from serious bites where a chunk of skin was taken out. Normally the hairs grow back after a small injury such as a scratch.
