My dog that is a mommy is losing fur, her belly is hot but not inflamed and her nose is dry. But she still eats, drinks, plays, and goes to the bathroom

If Lola recently has a litter the hair loss could be due to hormonal changes. Since her belly is hot I would have your vet take a look st her to ensure she doesn't have a fever or an infection. Your vet will be able to see if she needs any medications like antibiotics or allergy medicine. I hope this helps!
