I'm thinking she may be replacing a damaged coat... hard for me to say. Did your vet look at the shed hair under a microscope or magnifying glass to see if the ends are broken, chewed or just fallen out? Medication and harsh shampoos used in treatment can cause damage to the coat as it grows. If you're not seeing any bald spots, that means the new coat is growing in behind the old. Her schedule may be off due to the treatment also.
Any shampoo would be fine, the important thing is to always follow with a conditioner, as that is what will restore the oils in the skin that get washed out in the bath. If she still seems dry afterward, next bath, leave the conditioner on her a bit longer before rinsing it out. You can also use daily or leave-in coat conditioners in between baths, and give her coat a coconut oil treatment before a bath (oil her up anywhere from a few hours before bath time, to a day or two before bath day).
I wouldn't use any special shampoos formulated to stop shedding, at least not until you figure out what's really going on with her. Maybe a Dermatologist vet specialist could be more helpful... |
