It's odd that no hair comes off when brushing, yet it comes off when bathing. Some hair loss is normal, like a human. I pick up hair from my boys when I clean the floors. Their hair breaks off when they wrestle/play or when they pick up dried grass and things outside.
I would look at Maggie's skin closely. Does she scratch at all? Is her hair drier lately? Any weight gain or changes in activity level? If everything looks normal and she isn't exhibiting any out of the ordinary behavior, I would wait to mention it to your vet at your next visit. If she continues to lose a lot of hair, I would consider checking in with your vet sooner. Hair loss can be connected with thyroid functions (metabolism/hormones).
