| Hair falling out ?? Jessie had puppies 4 weeks ago. They are growing strong. It is Jessie that I am worried about. Her hair is falling out and on her back she is almost "bald". I am trying to give nice food supplements etc, but it is going on. Their are no signs of a rash or bumps nothing, it is just that the hair fall out. Will it help to put something like "mirrecoat" or oil or something on it. Is it normal for the females hair to fall out after birth ? Please help I am worried.

| It is normal for a female to " blow her coat" after whelping. But I have never had one do that yet, sorry no suggestions. Hopefully someone here can clue you in on whether it is normal or not.

| Jesse My Doxies used to lose alot of coat after whelping...not found that much in Yorks..you can start to wean the pups. The discharge is okay ..you do not want it thick green or infection type..shouldn't have a bad odor. A vet check wouldn't hurt. I do think her coat will come back after weaning and her body gets back to normal. |

| I have also heard that they can lose their coats after they have puppies, mine didn't, but she did have discharge/bleeding even after 9 weeks. We had to get her spayed... at first they thought maybe she retained a piece of placenta, (I didn't agree since it was clean blood, not green or smelly) After the surgery they had told me that she was in a constant "heat" since birth, even though her bottom wasn't swollen... her hormones were screwed up also because of this. She is now, after a few days after the surgery, comming back to my baby girl I once had What I can't understand, is even though her milk is almost gone, she will let the one pup we have left her try and nurse, right next to her incision she loves her pups... we had to put her in a onsie to get her to stop nursing at 7-8 weeks so she could have surgery. As the time went on (after the first couple of weeks of after birth bleeding) her bleeding was getting worse, so I know we did the right thing (spaying her). Good luck with the pups and mom. |

| Thank you so much for the info. Will take her to the vet if it gets worse. At this stage it is not THAT bad, but I am a very cautious mom. Rather safe than sorry !! Started to ween the pups. They are prepared to eat but does not want to drink anything from a bowl. Will this take a while ?? Lovies Ina

| I never knew that about mommies losing their coats either. How odd. The hormonal thing makes sense. Good luck at the vet. |
