Shedding

[Peggy]

Emma started shedding her winter coat a few months ago, but the shedding has not stopped. While there are no bald spots or thinning areas, I can pull hair off of her easily. Also, she has some black hairs that are growing on the back of her neck; this is the easiest area to pull hair from.

She does not seem to have any other health issues, and is on good food (Merrick canned food served with Natural Organics Chicken dry food). I am also giving her Advantix monthly for flea/tick prevention.

Any ideas??? Would a picture help?

I hope you don't mind me moving this as IMO, it's not really an article, it's a thread or question.

How old is she? Has she had puppies?

It doesn't sound like anything but a prolonged blow. Sometimes that happens. I've got one girl here who lost every stitch of undercoat and looked pretty bad for awhile. She's just now starting to get her coat back and look like a normal corgi and not a naked dog!

Yes, a picture would help.

The neck area, is that where you put the Advantix? Could be she's having a reaction to it in that area.

Talula is also still shedding as well. Peggy how long does the blowing coat usually last?

Depends on a lot of things. I've got one that started in June that's still blowing. Less now but still a tuft here and there.

My Kelsey is coming back into coat. It's taken her about 6 - 8 weeks total to blow and start to come back in.
