It took several months but as I mentioned earlier the fleas are gone and she no longer has them nor is she scratching now, however, the hair is gone. My husband says she looks like a lion. Her hair is as long as it has ever been from her shoulder up and her face. I keep baby onsies on her and cut a hole for the tail. I buy preemie as she is only about 1-2lbs. Closer to one!. I just hope the hair will grow back. I will post pics tonight. thank you |
It's common for dogs with flea allergies to lose hair like that, even if the fleas are minimal. Now that you've taken care of the problem it should grow back, but you'll need to be vigilant about flea control in the future. Even 1 bite can cause hair loss in dogs that are sensitive to fleas. If the hair doesn't start growing back pretty quickly though you will want to start looking into other possible causes for the hair loss.
Hope that helps!
