This is more than just a little shedding - this is tufts of hair. Is this normal or is this a sign of something wrong? I've never seen this before. Any information would be appreciated. He usually has a much longer coat and when I comb him never see anything like this. I posted this on the grooming board and thyroid was mentioned. Could this be? If so, what would other signs be. His blood was tested in March when he had eye problems and his thyroid was ok then. Thanks.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I've never seen nor heard of that happening. If no one else has either, I'd say he needs to be checked out. Their hair is more like human hair, and that wouldn't be normal for a human. Best of Luck! And let us know..........
