Thank you so much Michele
I am definitely going to have a Thyroid test done soon. I guess one of these days I also just need to get it over with and have allergy testing done as well...it's just that I was told by my vet that the list would more than likely come back a mile long of posibilities and the chances of us ever knowing exactly what she is allergic to is very slim. However, it could be a number of things.
I hope your right and that it is nothing major. Maybe it really is just that she isn't being bathed as much lately or brushed as much either because her hair is so much shorter than it was. I am going to start brushing her twice a day for a while and for the next 2 weeks I am going to bathe her once a week and see if I notice anymore hair shedding. I HOPE that's all it is
