She has no skin issues and is showered once a week. We need to sweep each day if she is in the house.She is 4.5 years old. 4 days ago without any symptoms she collapsed and died from acute myeliod leukemia, she had no white blood cells or platelets at the time she collapsed and had been active in the days before. We are not sure if this hair loss was a sign she had been to the vet previously he said this may be heat related.

Our vet gave me a cream which we applied for about 7-8 weeks and the spots have been fine for over a month now. But now she is losing hair alot all over, no patches though. The hair on her belly is now very thin and when you pet her, the hair just flies off her. She doesn't seem to be bothered by any itching. Any thoughts?

I washed him with flea shampoo and the next day we was infested again. This morning i discovered a bald patch that looked like a handful of hair had just been shaved off. Because he's so small the bald patch is about 1/10 of his whole body. I'm really worried and my parents are buying frontline plus again. I don't know what's wrong with him and what I can do.

WWW.ENZYME.COM I believe this is whats going to save my dog. Our dog has been "diagnosed" by a vet for Allergies yet nothing he's done had helped her. I am going to try this Enzyme Yeast treatment I think thats whats wrong with her and the vets don't want to tell you because they want your $$$. Our poor dog has NO fur almost and has a BONE for a tail cuz of no FUR! Bad enough I've sewn her clothing to wear in the winter. Its quite frankly revolting to look at her but shes such a beautiful dog b4 all this. If this fixes her I have many thanks to Post By nancy (Guest Post) (01/23/2007) for posting!

It's been for a few months. i need HELP! MY DOG NEED'S HELP! Editor's Note: Have you taken your dog to the vet? It could be a lot of reasons from just normal shedding, a flea allergy, mange or another health problem.

Don't use strong shampoo if you are cleaning the dog. If this doesn't help, call the local shelter and ask if they have any low cost vet advice, or could they suggest anything for you. God bless you. : ) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dog Losing Fur Post By nancy (Guest Post) (01/23/2007) Please look into NZYMES @ WWW.NZYMES.COM. It has worked very well for my dog. She had pneumonia and I truly believe this product saved her life. It also stopped her allergies and the problems she had with rashes and chewing her feet. If you want you can email me directly at nancyilka at sbcglobal dot net.

They have 2 coats and shed a lot. I have to vacuum everyday and change the bag on my vacuum every 2 weeks if that gives you any idea of how much fur we pick up. A vet check is always in order, as we took our Chloe in, but it was just normal shedding for a lab. Good Luck!

Since three weeks ago her fur has started to fall out (one hand full a day). Her behavior is normal,but she is scratching at times. Please tell me what I should do? Thanks and regards Sriyanthi from Sri Lanka Answers: RE: Dog Losing Fur If it very hot right now in your area could be from the heat. Dogs going in and out from heat to cool shed a great deal more than they should. Mine are driving me nuts. Sad thing is at her age could also mean a health problem such as thyroid, you should maybe have her checked with the vet. Feel around her neck to see if there are any lumps in that area that shouldn't be there. (07/19/2006) By Gramie3 RE: Dog Losing Fur I had a dog that scratched until she bled & after taking her to the vet she had to get a shot, she had allergies. We also got oral medicine & I believe it did bother her in the summer. Her hair came out & she had to wear a head guard to keep her from biting out her fur until her skin healed & the meds kicked in. After that she was fine, I just gave her the meds when it started acting up.

Only a full examination will tell you why this is happening. (04/26/2006) By Katmommy RE: Dog Losing Fur I agree with the others - take your dog to the vet. Among other things, this could be mange and it CAN be passed to you, since mange is a parasite. (04/26/2006) By Anna RE: Dog Losing Fur Specifically, ask your vet about the possibility of low thyroid-- this will require a blood test to check, and daily medication to correct, if needed (not expensive).Other possibilities are allergies and/or fleas. The pattern of hair loss will help your vet determine the cause-- also try to remember when/where it started, and if there were any changes to your dog's diet or environment around that time.
