Moulting after puppies

[Nettle123]

Hi, We have recently been given a lovely chocolate lab. She had pups 9 weeks ago.

My query is the about the way she is moulting, her back and top of shoulders are almost bald .

We have had lab bitches before that have gone into full moult after weaning but this does seem really extreme, her skin is quite dry and flaky too.

Anyone else experienced this ?

It's perfectly normal for bitches to lose coat after a litter, our oldest HWV got bald patches on her side after her 3 litters. We've also had it happen after seasons. It grows back. Not sue about the dry skin though

Thanks for that Echodomino,

I must admit none of our bitches have looked quite so bald after pups. she does not seem excessively itchy. I have just bathed her with my Tgel shampoo as its suposed to be gentle on the skin.
I will take her to the Vets if it gets worse
