Parvovirus typically does not affect hair loss or growth. There may be another underlying condition. Have Eva examined by your veterinarian. She may need skin scrapes or close exam to diagnose mites or infection (bacterial or fungal). Given a healthy diet and an essential fatty acid supplement, her coat should regrow in weeks to months as long as any underlying condition is managed or resolved.
