Duane Hull Webboard User Reg: 09-23-2011 Posts: 2692 Loc: Marrero, LA Offline	I had my dog spayed in early spring, before her spring cycle. She was blowing her coat, which she always did twice a year before her estrus, and it regressed as normal. However, after a few months, she is now shedding constantly. I thought that maybe a hormone imbalance was causing her to blow her coat early, but it has been going on for a couple of months. Has anyone else had coat issues after spaying? Dr. Betty? Sadie

You know I'm no expert, Duane, but my last 3 spayed bitches (going back well over 20 years now) shed as follows: Irish Wolfhound = super minimal (typical for breed)... AKITA = Blew whole coat semi-annually with Virtually NO Shedding at ALL in between (breed typical)... Doberman = very minimal (but her neutered Dobie "brother" sheds-like-a-shepherd 24/7, go figure)... No help with your question, but there ya have it

But age contributes too, and many dogs as they mature, neutered or not, become more constant shedders. My Pinker, neutered at 4 mos, sheds up a storm of white hair. I wear no fleece. I hate it! If I live long enough to have another dog, it will be a non-shed variety. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/
