- By kao kate [gb] Date 05.06.03 21:22 UTC
Help my bitch had pups eleven days ago and she is going bald she has no hair on her belly & chest Ii thought it was just wear the pups had pulled it out but now she is getting patches on her back! there are no sore patches or redness and ive combed her several times and im confident she doesnt have fleas (she has been frontlined regularly prior to the pregnancy)
she is scratching and her coat seems scurffy.
Im going tom consult the vet tommorow but any suggestions would be more than welcome.

All my bitches blow their coats after puppies, but not as quick as your bitch. Is you breed prone to this do you know ?

Hi i have a stafford bitch with pups and she blew her coat before she had her pups and is now blowing her coat again white hairs everywhere i think she looks worse because shes maulted twice but it soon grows back. she looks that funny that the little girl fron next door asked if she was turning into a dalmation :)

Hi my Bulldog had her pups and a week later she had lost her hair and was very sore but this happens i treated her with care because she was feeding pups but then when pups where 4 weeks old she was put on FIT& FERTILE and it worked she now has a great coat back pups are now 4 months, good luck Jackie.

Until the F&F arrives give her an Evening Primrose capsule every day. Most chemists/supermarkets sell them, I've found it very helpful for coats/hormone probs.
