My puppy had hives, now losing hair and has dry skin. Is this normal?

Question

Puppy had hives on his back and on a few other areas about 3 weeks ago. They dried up and now he's losing hair in those areas. Is this normal? It's not red or raised, but DRY skin falls out with small clumps of hair easily. He isn't scratching but I'd like an opinion. Thanks!

Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. This looks normal to me based on the circumstances. I would recommend you apply this mousse product which may help the hair to re-grow faster and will moisturize the skin.
