Re: [pyrnet] Help, losing hair!

Caren, I wouldn't worry about it.  As Kerry said, bitches do blow their
coats after whelping.  As far as the upper leg hair, that's a common
location.  My whole group are starting to shed out heavy once again, and
that is a prime area.  Texas weather is hard on dogs with this type of
coat since winter is never clearly defined here.  They show less coat
than a northern Pyr. at best, and their shedding starts earlier and seems
to last longer.

As long as she has no big hot spots or , bare to the skin areas, I would
just assume it was a normal coat blow.
Lots of brushing for a while, and if your inclined a good bath with a
soak in some warm water, will help speed the process up.  Make sure she
is not matted before you bathe her or soak her though!

Enjoy you girl, sounds like she has had an interesting past!  Cindy
