Moulting like mad!!!!!!!!!

[Maisiewaisey]

Hi everyone,

our Maisie who is six months old has started to lose her hair at an alarming rate. I thought that Shorkies werent supposed to moult! We are grooming her regularly but it is still coming out like billy - o.

Is this normal? Will it stop? Is she losing her puppy hair? Im sick of having a hair house!!!!!!!

Thanks for that everyone. It is nice to know just how much support is out there.

Sorry not to get back to you sooner. I did go through that with Toby and I got very upset too. I'm not sure but does your puppy scratch alot as that was what happened to my baby and I found out he had an allergie. If that is the case you may need to take her to the vets.

Since I found out that he has an allergie I just keep an eye on him and make sure I use oat meal shampoo on him and I have to use an alovera cream to rub into his fur ocassionally. I haven't had any problems since.

Sorry to not reply to your question.  I broke my hand walking Mai Tai and it is very difficult to type.  I had no experience with losing hair, so did not have any advice.  I meant no offense in that.  Hope the vet can help.

[Maisiewaisey]

No, Im sorry I had a rubbish day. Sorry again. Didnt mean to be so short and sarky.

Im going to get her clipped and see is that helps

[Mai Tai]

No problem.  I feel snarky every other day, and when your dog is losing hair, I am sure you worry.  I read it could be allergies too.  Mai Tai does not shed at all. 

Happy New Year.  Wish you the best
