Question

Why my puppy dropping so many hair from 3-4 days during rubbing or brushing her. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | 2 months and 13 days old

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Your puppy is likely starting to lose its puppy fur, and since you live in India, it is probably getting hot by now and the puppy sheds the hair due to the heat. Another reason for excessive shedding could be that she has mites or a fungal infection If the coat appears thin in places, if you see little skin defects, scaling or if your dog itches, she should be seen by a veterinarian for a skin exam. Mites are easily treated nowadays, and a fungal exam needs to be treated as well, as the fungus can be transferred to humans as well.
