Re: GSP female with hair loss after whelping

She is very healthy. Not fat. Her hair is starting to come back I believe. I had read it was fairly common but hadn’t found any cases of it happening to a GSP. I feed her high quality dog food and give her an egg twice a week with a little coconut oil.

Thanks for the input. Yes the litter is already on the ground, it was an accidental breeding at this time. The owner was going to wait for the male to get a little older and get all health certs on both done before breeding. But one slipped out of the gate and now there are puppies.
