Shady and her hair loss

Subject: Shady and her hair loss Tue Mar 29, 2011 12:27 am

I know the pic looks shocking but she is not as bad as she looks honest.

Shady has been losing her hair for the past few months, I think it’s
hormonal as it only started since having the puppies. I don’t want my vet to treat her for it as the shampoo
probably contains chemicals and he will want to give her some sort of
steroid injection and blame it on the food I feed her, coz he hates the fact I feed raw food. Shady and her hair loss 575435

and blames everything on that.
I have tried Hubiscrub Shady and her hair loss 583730

no joy... TGEL Shady and her hair loss 583730

no joy....T Tree/shampoo conditioner and oil Shady and her hair loss 583730

no joy
so I have sent for some of this stuff http://www.perfectpetskin.co.uk/ off the net so Shady and her hair loss 43464

but.... if it don't work do any of you have any secret potions you know of or have used anything over the counter/internet that works.

Karen, if you don't want to take her to a traditional vet, why not take her to a hostilic vet , they only give natural treatments, might be more expensive but you might be able to claim on your insurance,

Awww poor Shady Shady and her hair loss 805515

hope you get her sorted soon Shady and her hair loss 910222

Sounds like it might be hormonal as its only come on since the pups arrived Shady and her hair loss 910222

Mind you it could be stress after having the pups Shady and her hair loss 910222

you know how it is once you have babies Shady and her hair loss 170113

Subject: Re: Shady and her hair loss Sat Apr 02, 2011 11:47 pm

I do know of a woman whose Bernie loses loads of hair after whelping so it could well be hormonal. Dont some women lose hair at a greater rate after having a baby because they don't lose any whilst pregnant?

The main concern for me though would be the scratching. Although that could be due to the loose hair I suppose. Shady and her hair loss 300576

Difficult one but the suggestion of a holistic vet sounds useful.
