Pomeranian's hair thinning?

My pom, about two and a half years old, had her first litter this past June. Since the pups have been weened and sent off to their new homes her hair has gradually been thinning. She has no other problems and is as happy and energetic as ever and no lack in appetite. Could this be a hormonal thing, and common in other dogs? Any supplimentals that I could give her? It is getting colder and I really don't want to do the rediculous and buy her clothes to keep her warm.

Most double-coated b*tches do a major coat blow about 10 weeks post whelp. They can go down to darn near nekkid (fun to see the black skin of a Samoyed as the breeze blows the fur).



Strip out as much fur as possible and brush regularly to stimulate new growth. Feed a high quality food to help support new hair growth.



Clothing her will discourage new coat growth.

It isn't uncommon for a female to 'blow' coat during or after pregnancy. It is one of the heartbreaks of showing! I have a little one that really lost hair shortly after delivery and it is now growing back, the pups are 7 weeks old.



One product that many rescuers purchase and swear it will grow coat on a bowling ball is Sea Meal sold by Solid Gold. You use a very little added to your dogs' food. Here it is online: http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/products/...



Good luck. I think you will like the product because it is full of great things for your dog.

I also have a pomeranian. You should really go to the vet because that isn't a good thing. Make sure you don't wash her constantly because that causes hair loss. Just brush her out and take her to the vet.



Hope all goes well. Good luck! and congrads on the new puppies!!!
