Hair loss after birth

[jruizw]

Hi everyone, got a question for you, Stella, my year and a half Frenchie had her C-section 4 weeks ago, I started to notice a few bald patches, specially in her butt area, do you think this is related to the pregnancy and/or nursing?

Sorry for the not so flattering pic,but that's where I can tell the most about the hair loss.

If this is the case, are there any vitamins I could give her? Any suggestions?

She has an AWESOME tail!!! And a really cute bottom! Sorry, I am clueless about the hair loss--could it be normal spring shedding?

[MENTION=3224]jruizw[/MENTION] sorry it took so long to respond. It is not uncommon for their coat to get raggedy after they have pups. Nursing the pups takes a lot out of them, so we always give mama extra nutrition. Give her extra kibble, some goats milk every day, about a 1/2 cup twice a day, you can even cook her an egg or two and a good multi-vitamin for dogs, like NuVet Plus, or HardyPet Complete. This should help, good luck with the pups.

Thank you very much [MENTION=4]davidh[/MENTION] for your advice! I'll try the goat milk, she is already getting extra rations, I'll get her some of the vitamins a you are suggesting
