I just gave my one-year-old female lab a "hot-spot" type flea&tick medicene I got from the co-op. I've noticed she's been losing her hair - alot!!! You can just pet her and hair falls out and the roots...also, her lab-like hair is turning fuzzy...and brown? I don't know for sure about the color change, she isn't a full blooded lab, I just assumed she's part. Anyways, she's also recently been fixed with laser surgery, don't know if that has anything to do with it. All help will be appreciated! Thanks. IP: Logged |

Dogs shed certain times of the year more than others. Stress can also be a factor. A friends dog had bare patches where the fur was coming out, after a vet visit they found out it was a type of seasonal alopecia. If the hair loss seems beyond normal and the fur texture is changing make a trip to the vet just to be sure. Diet plays a role and essential fatty acids might help. IP: Logged |
