| thin hair My puppy's hair is beginning to get thin on his stomach and neck. I use Frontline but he still had some fleas now they are gone. I changed his food to Purina Pro Plan. When you brush/comb him lots of hair comes out.Does anyone have any other ideas about what would make the little guy's hair get thin? |

| What shampoo/conditioner do you use? If a seriousl amount of hair is coming out all the time, I would take him to the vet. Better safe than sorry. Hope it's nothing serious! |

| He does not have patches of bald hair it is just thin all over. I use Hartz puppy shampoo and I don't use conditoner at all. Should I? Also, it is beginning to turn silver. It is very hot and humid here in Arkansas but he is strictly inside. The whole family is obsessed with him so we may be just paranoid, buy we have a 14 year old Silky and she never lost her hair. Now she is losing it but her skin is old and covered with liver spots. Buddy went to the vet three weeks ago. Am I just being paranoid?

Please keep us updated on how he does! | |
