Libby finished her first season at Christmas but seems to be experiencing some hairloss under her chin, around the neck and also a little at the front.

Has anyone else had a bitch suffering the same thing? If so how long did it last for after the season and how extensive did it get?
Did you feed any supplements or let nature take its course? Did your bitch have the same thing after every season or just the first?
She's not itching and shes also been de flead recently ?

would appreciate any feedback from those that have encountered the same thing please :)

(I am a major worrier so sorry for all the questions ) :)

Is her collar rubbing her?

Hi Christine
no its not, that was my first thought because it started off in that area but has spread a bit lower to the top of her leg

Has no one had this ?????

I had similar with my bitch just after she had her first injection and then again at first season... she had a skin scrape it was dermodex. Dont get me wrong im not implying that Libby has dermodex but might be worth having a skin scrape to rule out anything.

One of our bitches (who is particularly heavy coated) went down almost to skin at her first moult (which also coincided with her first season). You could acrtually see pink skin through the thin fur under her throat and on her chest. Unless there are signs of irritation, lesions, redness etc, I wouldn't worry too much - our bitch came back into coat eventually and that first, almost naked moult was never repeated. I would just make sure that she eats well during this period, with perhaps a little extra oil in her food.

Thanks Mick and everyone else who has replied on the board and also by PM :)
