Why is my pug losing hair?

My pug is 2 years old and she just had puppies. We gave away the puppies and now she is losing her hair. What is wrong??

Sounds like she need some help to rebuild her health. Pugs can shed a lot anyway, but if she is losing lots of hair she likely needs some supplements and a healthier food. Ask your Vet what to add. I know my dogs needed extra care for their skin and coat in the brutal hot humid climate where I live. They take 3V Caps Skin Formulation with Omega 3, Vit A, D and E as well as NutriVed for dogs. I get these from the Vet.



In addition they eat a high quality food and get healthy treats like holistic brands of biscuits for skin and coat, teeth and breath, bones and joints and immune system boosting treats.



Occasionally we add a bit of cottage cheese to their food, too and a raw egg each about two times a week.



If you are thinking of trying any of this, check with your Vet first. Generally speaking, pregnant and nursing dogs eat puppy food or a diet that supplies extra fat and protein since their bodies are being taxed with the litter. If your dog did not get this while pregnant and nursing, a Vet can give the best guidance about rebuilding her skin and coat health. I love my dogs' Vet because he is very knowledgeable about healthy diet and nutrition in general.

Many female dogs who are nursing puppies will lose a large amount of hair. This is not abnormal. Such a dog is often said to be 'blowing her coat.' The technical term for the cause of this loss is 'telogen effluvium. Report It

She might be stressed out. I mean losing all of her babies is kinda stressful. Or it could be scratching. Watch her and see if she scratches. If so check her for flees. If this doesn't get better soon take her to the vet.



Hope this helps!!!

Sometimes dogs lose hair from stress, boredom, or allergies. Since she just had puppies and they are all gone she may be stressed from that. Do you have anything that has the puppies scent on it so she could smell? May be this would comfort her.
